4.00 Credits
A survey of microbiology including basic con-cepts of laboratory cultivation and identifica-tion, metabolism, and microbial mechanisms of disease. Pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses will be discussed. Three lecture-hours and two seven-ty-five minute laboratory sessions weekly. (every semester) Prerequisites: Successful completion of CHEM 001 or high school chemistry, and competen-cy in basic math and English skills (as shown by passing grades in ENG 002 and MATH 002, or equivalent)
-
4.00 Credits
The first of a two-course sequence (BIO 205-206) providing a comprehensive study of hu-man anatomy and physiology. BIO 205 covers anatomical description and organization, cell and tissue characteristics, chemical principles, and a detailed examination of the anatomy, function, homeostasis, and interactions of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nerv-ous systems. Laboratory investigations include examination of prepared slides, skeletons and models, organ and tissue dissections, and phy-siological experiments (computer simulations, and analysis of physiological data from human subjects using digital recording systems). Three lecture-hours and one 2 ? hour labora-tory session weekly. (every semester) Prerequisites: Competence in basic English skills, as shown by a passing grade in ENG 002 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
The second of a two-course sequence (BIO 205-206), continuing a comprehensive study of human anatomy and physiology. BIO 206 focuses on the special senses, autonomic nervous system, endocrine system and regula-tion of metabolism, cardiovascular and respi-ratory systems, lymphatic system and immuni-ty, digestive system, urinary system and flu-id/electrolyte balance, and reproductive sys-tem and development. Homeostasis and inter-relationships of systems are discussed, as well as applications in health and fitness. Laborato-ry investigations include cat and organ dissec-tions, examination of prepared slides and models, and physiological experiments (com-puter simulations, and analysis of physiologi-cal data from human subjects using digital re-cording systems). Course includes three lec-ture-hours and one 2 ? hour laboratory ses-sion weekly. (every semester) Prerequisite: Grade of ?C? or higher in BIO 205 (Anatomy and Physiology I).
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of the processes involved from non-life to life and the subsequent evolutio-nary development to modern human beings. Included are various major evolutionary con-cepts proposed throughout history. Prerequisite: one 100- or 200-level biology course or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on a study of the deve-lopmental process in selected vertebrates and includes a laboratory study of microscopic material, models, and demonstrations of deve-lopmental phenomena. Three lecture-hours and one 150-minute laboratory session week-ly. Prerequisite: BIO 205
-
4.00 Credits
A detailed study of the relationships between organisms and the environments in which they live. Emphasis will be placed on ecosys-tems, microbial ecology, population dynamics and environmental chemistry through lec-tures, discussions and practical work in the laboratory and field. Three hours of lecture and two seventy-five-minute laboratory ses-sions weekly.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of normal and abnormal physiological processes and criteria used to define them. The focus is on the influence external and in-ternal stress factors may have on the body and how the body responds and adapts. Special consideration will be given to genetic abnor-malities, the immune response, tumor growth and control, and circulatory disorders. (every semester) Prerequisite: BIO 205-206 or permission of in-structor.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of the chemical composition and morphology of human and animal viruses. Topics include replication, transmission, pa-thology and culture methods. Prerequisites: BIO 103 and BIO 104
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of the structural, molecular, and functional organization of cells, biochem-ical processes required for cell maintenance and reproduction, cell communication, regula-tion of cell function and development, and cell diversification. Includes discussion of cur-rent research and experimental techniques in cell biology, and biotechnology applications. (every spring) Prerequisites: BIO 103/104 and CHEM 103/104, or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the chemical reactions occurring on the molecular level in biological systems (illustrating the interrelationships of different biochemical pathways). Two lectures and one four-hour laboratory session weekly. (spring) Prerequisites: CHEM 200 or CHEM 201 with a minimum grade of ?C?; CHEM 202 strongly recommended
