-
4.00 Credits
This course examines principles of microbiology and immunology including the morphology, physiology, taxonomy, genetics and ecology of micro-organisms. Viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotic micro organisms including algae, fungi and protozoa will be studied.
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of birds will be examined at various levels, including their development, anatomy, physiology, behavior, taxonomy, evolution, and ecology. The laboratories will be a field study of birds in this region and will emphasize bird identification by sight, song, and behavior. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab equivalent per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0101, 0102, & 0217 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of vertebrates will be examined at various levels, including their development, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ecology. Laboratories will be primarily field trips emphasizing vertebrates found in northwest Pennsylvania. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab equivalent per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0101, 0102, and 0217 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of invertebrates will be examined at various levels, including their development, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ecology. Laboratories will include both bench and field work, emphasizing invertebrates found in northwest Pennsylvania. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab equivalent per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0101, 0102, and 0217 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of neurons will be studied at various levels, including the cell and molecular biology of the neuron, neuronal development, neuroanatomy, cognition, and behavior. This course will emphasize scientific reading and writing, including oral communication of scientific material. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0201.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces basic experimental design, sampling procedures, and statistical analysis in biological sciences. One hour of lecture and two hours of recitation per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0101, 0102, and 0217 and college-level math or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to vascular plant taxonomy, identification, and classification, with particular emphasis on learning characteristics of plant families, field identification, and recognizing indicator species of various plant habitats. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab equivalent per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0101, 0102, and 0217 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to animal structure and function. Basic mechanisms of physiology related to major systems will be covered, including neurobiology, endocrinology, movement, circulation, gas exchange, digestion, and ionic and osmotic balance. The course will use a comparative approach that emphasizes how physiological differences among species have evolved based upon the need for the animal to adapt to the environment. Laboratory sessions will be devoted to reinforcement of lecture concepts using modern physiological methods. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0201.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of biological variation at the molecular level of DNA, at the organismal level via the phenotypic analysis of families, and at the population level concerning the genetics of whole populations of individuals. These topics will be covered through the problem-solving approach. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0101, 0102, and 0217 and co-requisite: CHEM 0102 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
The development of plants and animals will be studied. A particular emphasis will be made on how conserved molecular mechanisms result in the divergence of living organisms. Model organisms will be used in both lecture and lab to explore developmental processes. Three hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 0201.
