4.00 Credits
Freshwater ecology is the quantitative examination of major biological fresh water communities. Course discussions will delineate the physical and chemical regimes under which aquatic organisms exist. Basic limnological processes are studied to define aquatic systems of differing physical characteristics. Nutrient chemistry analyses of waters of varying acidity, alkalinity, and chemical loadings are related to their trophic status. Lecture and Laboratory are taught at the Darrin Fresh Water Institute at Lake George with field activities at various locations in the Adironacks. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 or equivalent and permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Major principles of biochemistry are illustrated, as students purify and analyze specific proteins. Experience is obtained with various techniques including tissue extraction, chromatography, ultracentrifugation, spectrophotometric analysis, and electrophoresis. The course includes extensive hands-on laboratory work, as well as the writing of in-depth reports, and is qualified as a writing-intensive course. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and BCBP-4710.) This is a communication-intensive course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 1010. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
The techniques of gel electrophoresis, restriction enzyme mapping, and molecular hybridization are applied to the study of bacterial plasmids and mammalian genes. This is communication-intensive course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 2120. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Students will learn a variety of modern cell and developmental biology techniques such as cell culture, genetic analysis, immunocytochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, and live cell imaging. Using these techniques, students will investigate the function of genetically manipulated proteins in cells and developing embryos. In the last third of the semester, students will develop independent experimental research plans to address questions of interest to the student. This is a communication-intensive course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 2120, BIOL 2500 When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Comprehensive examination of cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as analysis of the structure and function of the ECM in a variety of tissues. Topics to be covered include: ECM proteins, cell-matrix interactions, ECM signaling, mechanics of the ECM, ECM pathology and recent advances in ECM research. Prerequisites/Corequisites: There are no formal prerequisites, but students should have a rudimentary knowledge of cell biology and protein structure (readings to provide this can be requested from the instructor). Limited to students with junior or senior standing. Graduate students must enroll in BIOL 6750 or BMED 6420; both courses may not be taken for credit. When Offered: Spring Term (of even numbered years). Cross Listed: Cross-listed with BMED 4420/6420. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Part I of a two-semester sequence focusing on the chemistry, structure, and function of biological molecules, macromolecules, and systems. Topics covered include protein and nucleic acid synthesis, enzymology, mechanisms of catalysis, regulation, lipids and membranes, carbohydrates, bioenergetics, and carbohydrate metabolism. This course is taught in studio mode. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and either BCBP-4760 or CHEM-4760.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: CHEM 2250 or CHEM 2210 and BIOL 1010 or equivalent. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
The second semester of the molecular biochemistry sequence. Topics include lipids and lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and the coenzymes involved in this metabolism, nucleic acid synthesis and chemistry, protein synthesis and degradation, integration of metabolism, photobiology, and photosynthesis. This course is taught in studio mode.(Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and either BCBP 4770 or CHEM 4770.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 4760 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental principles of the ecology of plants and animals. Interrelationships between organisms and their environments are discussed as well as material and energy balances in the ecosystem. Emphasis on the biology of populations (producers, consumers, and decomposers). Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 2120 or BIOL 1010. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Selected readings in the biological literature to supplement the scientific background of undergraduate students. Cannot be used as a biology elective. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall, spring, and summer terms annually. Credit Hours: 1 to 4
-
4.00 Credits
Independent research, supervised by a faculty member, culminating in a written thesis and oral presentation. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall, spring, and summer terms annually. Credit Hours: 4
