4.00 Credits
The study of the life processes of the individual cell as related to structure. Particular emphasis is placed on current molecular aspects of biological mechanisms, including growth, cell division and macromolecular synthesis. Two lectures and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 321, CHE 310, and four hours of physics. (On demand)
-
4.00 Credits
Cellular metabolism including photosynthesis, respiration, and the synthesis of lipids and proteins. Emphasis is placed on enzymatic mechanisms and metabolic pathways. Two lectures and four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 321 and CHE 530. (On demand)
-
4.00 Credits
Techniques in bright field, phase contrast, interference contrast, and photo microscopy are emphasized. Standard methods in fixation, embedding, microtomy, and staining of specimens are covered. Darkroom techniques for the biological sciences are also included. Prerequisites: BIO 221 and 222. (On demand).
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to teach students the theory, principles and applications of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After a predetermined number of instructional hours, the student is expected to successfully complete a test which measures the competency of the individual in SEM operation. Subsequently, the student is required to complete a short research project utilizing SEM. Prerequisites: BIO 221 and 222. (Summer, on demand)
-
3.00 Credits
An experimental approach to modern laboratory techniques in Cell Biology. An emphasis will be placed on the mastery of common cellular and molecular techniques used in clinical, industrial and research settings. Six hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 321. (Spring, odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to physiological abnormalities in disease. For advanced students in, or headed for, careers in health related fields. Four hours of lecture per week. Prerequisites: BIO 228 and 229, or BIO 322, or equivalent. (On demand)
-
3.00 Credits
Examines vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems at the cellular and systems levels. Topics include: (1) cellular processes of neurons and glial cells, (2) synapses and synapse formation, (3) sensory systems, (4) motor systems, and (5) learning and memory. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisites: BIO 321 or 322 recommended. (On demand)
-
4.00 Credits
This course will focus particularly on systematics and phylogenetic analyses, although other bioinformatics-related topics such as genomics and geographic information systems will be included. Students will search bioinformatic data sources, retrieve and edit data, and perform computer analysis on protein, DNA, and morphological data. Underlying biological processes will also be discussed. Three hours lecture and two hours computer lab per week. Prerequisite: BIO 333 (Genetics).
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture course which involves discussions of general concepts of DNA structure, replication and translation. Current concepts in bacterial and bacteriophage genetics, such as gene transfer, recombination, gene regulation, and recombinant DNA technology will be examined. Prerequisites: BIO 300 and 333, or consent of instructor. (Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the movement of water through the environment and its relationship to biotic systems. Areas emphasized include the hydrologic cycle and its influence on groundwater, lotic, and lentic systems; the effect of water on plant and animal communities; and the influence of human activity on watershed structure and function. Prerequisite: BIO 330 or consent of instructor. (Same as GSC 535.) (Spring, even years)
