-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Examination of the architecture of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems relationships which interact in the total function of the human being. This examination will include a detailed study of the digestive, respiratory, excretory, nervous, reproductive and endocrine systems, as well as their interactions with each other. 3-hour lecture and one two188 hour lab per week. The course is designed for the Allied Health Program Majors, Nursing, Vet Tech, Med Tech and EMS and will not count as an elective toward any biology degree requirements. The 3-credit-hour option is open only to students in designated programs who will not take the lab.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Studies in special selected topics, to be determined by the instructor and approved by the department chair. Credits earned will be applicable as free electives in degree and certifi cate programs.
-
4.00 Credits
The fi rst part of this course will consist of a survey of the plant kingdom, including the fungi kingdom and selected groups of plant-like protists and bacteria. In the second part, the structure, development, and physiology of angiosperms will be examined. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 1105 and 1106 with a C or better. Spring semester only.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the animal kingdom, this course emphasizes selected invertebrates and vertebrates. The focus will be on diversity and the signifi cance of evolutionary changes. Students will investigate the basic concepts of morphology, anatomy, physiology and behavior as they affect the ecology of the animal. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 1105 and 1106 with a C or better. Fall semester only.
-
4.00 Credits
Designed for the Allied Health Programs, this course emphasizes the history of microbiology, microbial morphology and structure; microbial growth and physiology; environmental effects on bacteria; inhibition and killing of bacteria; virulence, pathogenicity, and invasiveness of microbes; modes of disease transmission; resistance and immunity; techniques of isolation; handling, culturing, identifying bacteria and the inhibition of bacteria. Safety, cleanliness, and responsibility are taught in the laboratory. 3 hours of lecture and one two-hour lab per week. This course is designed for the Allied Health Program Majors, Nursing, Vet Tech and Pre-Pharmacy. BIOL 2224 will not substitute for BIOL 2205 or vice versa. Spring semester only.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course, microorganisms (primarily bacteria) will be viewed from several perspectives; as pathogens, as components of ecosystems, and as components of industrial processes. Techniques for culturing and identifying bacteria will be presented. The course includes opportunities for students to design and conduct laboratory exercises. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory session per week. PR: BIOL 1105 and 1106 with a C or better, and CHEM 1105. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores the fundamental principles of modern ecology: the patterns and processes operating in populations, communities and ecosystems. Population growth and regulation, energy fl ow, population interactions and nutrient cycling will be emphasized. Students will learn quantitative methods, use fi eld techniques, and practice the scientifi c method. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 2202 and 2203, with a C or better, and CHEM 1106, 1113. Fall semester only.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an in-depth study of the plant kingdom. Primary emphasis is placed on understanding the structural characteristics, evolutionary relationships and ecological distribution of plants. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 2202 with a C or better. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
This course surveys the invertebrate phyla as they have evolved from single cell protists to multicellular chordates. Also considered are the attributes of these organisms that have allowed them to radiate from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Two hours of lecture and two twohour laboratories per week. PR: BIOL 2202 and 2203 with a C or better and CHEM 1106 and CHEM 1113. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth investigation of vertebrates, this course focuses on the evolutionary relationships among the major vertebrate groups, with an emphasis on physiological, morphological and behavioral adaptations, especially as they infl uence the ecology of the animal. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 2203 with a C or better. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
