3.00 Credits
This course covers the methods of nutritional assessment for various pathological conditions. Food habits, nutrition during pregnancy, the relationship between nutrition and physical fitness are studied. Additionally, the nutritional effect on diseases such as Gastrointestinal Disease, AIDS, Renal Disease, and Diabetes will be discussed. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology, Principles of Chemistry I and II. ( Spring '07)
-
4.00 Credits
This one semester laboratory/lecture course will acquaint the student with the TEM as a research tool. Practical experience will be stressed, including microscope usage and maintenance, specimen preparation, ultra-sectioning, staining techniques, photographic skills and evaluation of micrographs. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II. Histology and/or Molecular Cell Biology are strongly recommended. Note; May be taken at any time as an independent study with permission of the instructor.

3.00 Credits
Nature and mechanisms of acquired resistance including humoral and cellular immunity. Characteristics of antigens and antibodies and their interaction will be studied. The immune system and disease will be discussed. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II and Principles of Chemistry I and II. (Spring '09)
-
3.00 Credits
The emphasis of this lecture course is on the detailed study of the major cellular components with particular attention to the relationship between functions, and the molecular and supramolecular organization of the cell. Topics will include: the fine structure of eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses, the chemical composition of cells, and the molecular manipulation of cellular components. The emerging field of molecular cell biology offers a more comprehensive approach to the understanding of the cell and ultimately, the human organism. This approach utilizes the techniques of the molecular biologist and represents a union of several subfields of biology including: genetics, cell biology, biochemistry and microscopy. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, and Principles of Chemistry I and II. ( Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
This one semester laboratory course will explore the morphology, physiology, and ecology of aquatic organisms from both marine and freshwater environments. The laboratory will involve extensive field work to observe aquatic organisms in their natural habitats and to gain experience sampling physical, chemical, and biological factors in coastal, lacustrine, and river ecosystems. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. ( Fall '08)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of animal parasites with an emphasis on human parasitic disease. Course content includes protozoan, helminth and arthropod parasites. Laboratory exercises are designed to illustrate parasite anatomy and to enable students to diagnose certain parasitic disease. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. ( Spring '07)
-
3.00 Credits
This two-semester course is designed to introduce students to the interrelatedness of molecular framework, bimolecular activities and functioning of living organisms. Structure and function of proteins, enzymology, bioenergetics, and glucosemetabolism (Glycolysis, TCA cycle) are emphasized. Corequisites: BIO 3037/3038. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II. Juniors and Seniors or permission of instructor. ( Fall) (Spring)
-
2.00 Credits
This two-semester course is the concurrent requirement of BIO 3035/3036. Exercises are designed to introduce students to a variety of biochemical analytical techniques, preparative procedures and instruments used in biochemical experimentation. Students apply the methods in projects designed to gain experience in developing and applying protocols for biochemical research. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II. ( Fall) (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
This one-semester laboratory course focuses on the central question in modern molecular biology: how cells work in molecular detail. The study of genetics is now facilitated by a collection of recombinant DNA techniques designed for direct manipulation and chemical analysis of the genetic material, which controls the cell. The specific techniques used in this course include the specific cleavage of DNA with restriction endonucleases, nucleic acid hybridization, gel electrophoresis, and DNA cloning. This course is the complement to BIO 3030 Molecular Cell Biology and replaces the Genetics courses. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, or permission of instructor. Molecular Cell Biology is strongly recommended. ( Spring ’09)
-
4.00 Credits
This one-semester laboratory/lecture course will acquaint the student with both the scanning electron microscope ( SEM) and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) as tools for research and education. Practical applications will be stressed and students will have the opportunity to choose the most appropriate techniques for their needs. Included among these skills are microscope usage and maintenance, specimen preparation, ultrasectioning, staining techniques, photographic skills, and evaluation and presentation of micrographs. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, or the permission of the instructor. Histology and/or Molecular Cell Biology are strongly recommended. ( Fall)
