3.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of animals and their ancestors. Topics include structure and function of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems in animals. Genetics, development, behavior, ecology, and the evolution of major phyla are covered. A comparative approach is taken in studying the invertebrates and vertebrates including man. (May be taken independently or as a part of a two course sequence with bio 192.) (3,3) 4 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course that teaches biological principles by emphasizing the structural and functional aspects of the human body, especially as they relate to everyday existence. Includes discussion of important collateral issues such as the nature and course of disease, smoking and health, drug abuse, immunity and allergy, human genetics, birth control, over-population, and venereal disease. (3, 0) 3 credits Fall, Spring
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The nature, structure, growth, and habits of insects and related forms are discussed. The beneficial and injurious effects of insects are covered. Recent breakthroughs and developments in the field of entomology are discussed. Skills are developed which enable the student to identify insect plant pests, diseases and injuries. Control measures and application equipment are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the various pest management options available to the homeowner and professionals in the field. IPM (integrated pest management) involves an understanding of pesticides, physical and mechanical controls, biological controls, cultural controls, and legal controls. Laws regulating the activities of pest control operators and the application of hazardous pesticides are discussed. A collection of insects and related forms is required. (3,2) 4 credits Spring
-
3.00 Credits
Moving beyond the basic concepts of general biology, this course explores how biology is used in both academic and commercial settings within the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. Topics will include: applications of biotechnology in microbes, plants, and animals, the human genome project and its relation to medical biotechnology, DNA forensics, and pharmaceutical drug discovery, delivery, and FDA approval. The debate surrounding subjects such as cloning, stem cells, and genetically modified foods will also be discussed. Prerequisite(s): BIO 130 with a grade of C or better (3,0) 3 credits Fall, Spring
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course that develops student expertise in a full range of basic and advanced bioscience laboratory techniques, as well as laboratory safety standards. A variety of laboratory equipment will be used by students to perform a series of preparatory and analytical assignments during the semester, including preparation of solutions and dilutions. Students are required to maintain a laboratory notebook, analyze and display data in graphic form, and report results in a standard format. Prerequisite(s): BIO 130 with a C or better (0,3) 1 credit Fall, Spring
-
4.00 Credits
The role of microbes as causative agents of disease in human hosts; the morphological characterization of pathogenic species, classification of communicable diseases and epidemiological aspects. Host-parasite relationship, infection, and host resistance mechanisms; sero-diagnostic methods in medical practice. Chemotherapy, mode of action of antibiotics, sterilization, disinfection methods and contamination control. Prerequisite: BIO 130 or BIO 131 or BIO 166 or BIO 170 or BIO 171 (3,3) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
3.00 Credits
The course introduces the nature of ecosystems, community organization and dynamics, and population growth and regulation. The laboratory will be primarily field oriented. Prerequisite(s): 1 year of college biology or permission of instructor (3,3) 4 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
The ecological principles of the marine environment will be examined. There will be an emphasis on the classification, identification and economic importance of both the animals (Protozoa-Chordata) and the algae (microscopic and macroscopic). The flora and fauna of the Long Island region will be stressed with field trips and collections being an integral part of the course. Prerequisite(s): BIO 130 or BIO 131 or BIO 192 or permission of Instructor (3,3) 4 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover ethical issues raised as a result of modern advances in biotechnology which directly affect the quality of human life. Bioethics comprises every possible aspect of health care: medical, moral, political, religious, legal and financial. It scrutinizes outmoded laws and deals with the enormous growth in available medical services. It takes into account our views of ourselves as members of a humane society. Prerequisite(s): One semester of college biology with a grade of C or better (3,0) 3 credits Fall, Spring
-
3.00 Credits
Proper field techniques for sampling the water, land, and air environments will be emphasized. Laboratory procedures will inolve the analysis of both chemical and biological parameters, including wastewater analysis, using New York State approved methodology. Vegetative transecting and beach contouring will also be included. Data presentation and report writing will be emphasized. Field trips and study will be an integral and required part of this course. Discussion of environmental laws and impact statements will be included. Prerequisite(s): One semester of college biology with a laboratory, and one semester of college chemistry with a laboratory (2,3) 3 credits Contingent on demand
