-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory exercises in general microbiology. Laboratory, four hours per week. Prereq: One unit of chemistry or consent of instructor; BIO 208 or BIO 308 should be taken concurrently.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to provide a basic understanding of the natural products and processes that shape the nature of modern plants, and govern their interactions with the environment and characteristics unique to plants, and develop a basic understanding of how these plant attributes relate to oganismic function. Emphasis will be placed on exploring the nature of the major plant biomes of the Earth, their community dynamics, and how member plants compete for space and other resources. Development of optimal plant strategies for reproductive success, plant interaction with other living systems as well as abiotic factors and their defense from predation and attack will also be considered. (Same as PLS 210.)
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of insect biology and relationships among insects, plants, and other organisms; identification of commonly encountered insects. Beneficial and detrimental effects of insects are discussed. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours per week. Prereq: One course in introductory biology. (Same as ENT 300.)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the physical and chemical aspects of the genetic material and their relationship to the expression and inheritance of the phenotype. Lecture, three hours; recitation, two hours per week. Prereq: BIO 150, BIO 152, and BIO 315.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts of microbiology. The nutrition, physiology, genetics, molecular biology of microorganisms, and their roles in nature and in infection and immunity will be studied. Prereq: BIO 150-153; organic chemistry recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
The structure and function of the cells will be considered. Emphasis will be placed on the ultrastructure of cell organelles in plants and animals as a framework for understanding the compartmentalized nature of cell activity. Prereq: BIO 150, 151, 152, 153 (or equivalent). Coreq: CHE 230 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the basic concepts in ecology. Topics covered include: adaptations of organisms to the environment; factors that influence the distribution and abundance of species; population structure, dynamics, and regulation; community development (succession), structure and function; food webs, energy flow, and nutrient cycling. Lecture, three hours; recitation, two hours per week. Prereq: BIO 150 and BIO 152 or consent of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
Comparative study of the anatomy of vertebrates with emphasis on evolutionary change, adaptive and functional significance of structural organization and basic concepts of the comparative approach. Laboratory studies on representative vertebrates involving dissections, models, and demonstrations. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, four hours per week. Prereq: BIO 150, 151, 152, 153 or BIO 104, 105 or equivalent course in animal biology.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic principles of animal physiology. An elementary discussion of the major vertebrate organ systems including nutrition, metabolism, respiration, circulation, excretion, muscle contraction, peripheral and central nervous system, and endocrine function emphasizing homeostasis. Lecture, three hours; demonstration, two hours. Prereq: BIO 150-153 or equivalent; BIO 315; CHE 105, 107.
-
3.00 Credits
An evolutionary survey of the morphology, taxonomy, life histories and biological relationships of all plant groups comprising the plant kingdom. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours. Prereq: An introductory course in biology.
