0.00 Credits
Lab: Field Biology of South-Central Pennsylvania. Must accompany BIOL 117.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to give students an introductory understanding of how ecological systems and ecological principles apply to natural ecosystems and the human interface with those systems. It will discuss ecological sustainability, economic sustainability, and social sustainability. It will include topics such as global biogeochemical cycles, the hydrologic cycle, the carbon cycle, trophic levels in ecosystems, competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, population dynamics, agriculture, forestry and biodiversity. Two lectures and three hours of laboratory per week. Meets General Education Laboratory Science requirement. Cross-listed with SUST 140.

Introduction to the molecular, genetic, and cellular aspects of biology. It includes a study of the nature of science, biological molecules, cell structure and function, enzymes, metabolism, and classical and molecular genetics. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Although this course meets General Education Laboratory Science requirement for all majors, it is required for Biology majors and is taught at a level appropriate for science majors.

Lab: Must be taken with Biology 160 - Molecular and Cellular Biology
-
3.00 Credits
Students will develop an understanding of the diversity of animals and their natural histories as they relate to their respective form and function. The course seeks to integrate comparative aspects of the development, morphology, and physiology of animals with the concepts of life history, behavioral ecology, and evolutionary biology. In addition to lecture, laboratory sessions will enhance students¿ critical thinking skills and understanding of the complementarity of form and function as represented in the Animal Kingdom. Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Although this course meets General Education Laboratory Science requirement for all majors, it is required for Biology majors and is taught at a level appropriate for science majors.

3.00 Credits
Students will develop an understanding of the diversity of plants and their natural histories as they relate to their respective form and function. Topics of study will include diversity, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, and ecology with specific reference to economically and medicinally important plant groups. The distribution of major plant communities with global climate patterns and plant roles in critical biogeochemical cycles will be studied. Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Although this course meets General Education Laboratory Science requirement for all majors, it is required for Biology majors and is taught at a level appropriate for science majors.
