-
3.00 Credits
Research project based introduction to molecular methods for assessing
the diversity and activity of microorganisms in natural and engineered
environments. Emphasis on quantitative measurement of environmental
variables in microbial habitats (environmental chemistry), diversity
of microbial metabolic strategies, and DNA based characterization of
bacterial and archaeal diversity. Three hours of class and three hours
of laboratory/discussion. Required weekend field trip. Prerequisite, Biology 102 or 115, Chemistry 120 or 125 or consent of instructor. M McCormick.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental functions of eukaryotic cells. The interrelationships of cellular structure and function, the cell cycle, protein trafficking and cellular communication will be examined through the study of neurons, the basic unit of the nervous system. Additional topics will include specialized activities of neurons. Three hours class and three hours of laboratory. Prerequisite, 101 and 102, 115, or consent of instructor. (Same as Neuroscience 357.) Lehman.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of eukaryotic parasites (excluding bacteria and viruses) of humans and other animals. Morphology, classification, pathology and diagnosis of medically important parasites will be discussed, as will ecological and evolutionary aspects of parasites in human and non-human hosts. Laboratory exercises will include examination of preserved material as well as dissection of invertebrate and small vertebrate hosts to collect, examine and preserve live parasites. Three hours of class and three hours of laboratory. Prerequisite, 101 and 102, or 115, or consent of instructor. Maximum enrollment, 32. Smythe.
