2.00 Credits
2 semester hours Designed for students with a definite interest in one of the health professions. This course introduces the student to the basic health care environment and examines the roles and responsibilities of various occupations and the issues affecting the quality and formof health care in America. Economic, political, sociological, psychological, and ethical problems facing health care professionals will also be discussed. No prerequisites.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Integrates the pathological processes of disease with those of the "normal" functioningbody. Cellular and organismal disease mechanisms are studied with reference to specific diseases, with opportunity to apply this learning to actual case studies. Prerequisite: BIO2670.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours How nutrition impacts the health of the individual will be investigated. A biochemical, cellular, and physiological approach to carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals and how the body responds to excess and deficiency of these foodstuffs will be addressed. Current topics include links between diet and various diseases; nutritional trends; weight management; food-borne illness; diet and exercise; how the diet affects arterial aging and the immune system; and nutrition myths and misinformation. Prerequisites: BIO2670, CHM1200, or CHM1310 and CHM1320. Meets General Education "Observation of the Natural World" requirement.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course provides an overview of the invertebrate animals beginning with sponges and ending with cephalochordates. Emphasis will be placed on identification of invertebrates, and descriptions of key characteristics and evolutionary innovations of the invertebrate phyla and classes using a comparative approach. Laboratory will involve field trips and making detailed comparisons among selected invertebrate types through behavioral observation, microscopy and dissection. Prerequisite: BIO1220.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course provides an overview of the vertebrate animals beginning with fishes and ending with mammals. Emphasis will be placed on identification of vertebrates, and descriptions of key characteristics and evolutionary innovations of the vertebrate classes using a comparative approach. Laboratory will involve field trips and making detailed comparisons among selected vertebrate types through behavioral observation, microscopy and dissection. Prerequisite: BIO1220.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course covers the basic structure and selected functions of flowering plants, adaptations to specific environmental factors, a comparison of the major plant groups from algae to angiosperms, and characteristics of selected families of higher plants. The interactions between humans and plants will be emphasized. The laboratory exercises include topics in plant morphology, reproduction, life cycles, identification, and research design. Prerequisite: BIO1210. Meets General Education "Observation of the Natural World" requirement.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course covers the functional and related structural aspects of the higher green plants. Topics include transport of water and nutrients; mineral requirements, including deficiency symptoms and availability from soil; photosynthesis; respiration; plant regulators; plant movements; and responses to light and temperature. Laboratory activities and a final project or projects are integrated into the lecture sections. Prerequisite: BIO1210.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course covers the modern biological aspects of aging. Students need to distinguish pathophysiological conditions from "normal aging" of the human body.The theory of aging and how nutrition, exercise, stress, and social interaction affect aging will be discussed. Prerequisite: BIO2670.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours This course provides an introduction to conservation biology, and will focus on the earth's biological diversity, threats to its biological diversity, how threats influence populations and species, and solutions to dealing with those threats. Prerequisites: BIO1220 or BIO2200.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Introduction to theory and application of key laboratory techniques in the field of biotechnology. The course integrates "hands-on" learning of important techniqueswith concepts from the areas of biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics. Prerequisites: CHM1320, BIO3400 or BIO3280.
