3.00 Credits
Builds upon the biochemical foundations covered in Biology/Chemistry 327. Areas include metabolic pathways, strategies and regulation, membrane transport, enzyme catalysis and regulation, bioenergetics, signal transduction pathways, and the biochemistry of disease. Students will be exposed to additional laboratory techniques, experimental design, bioinformatics, and grant proposal writing. Analysis of primary literature is an integral component of the course. Prerequisite: Biology/Chemistry 327 or permission of instructor. Three 50-minute lectures and one 3-hour laboratory. Husic

3.00 Credits
Structural organization and functional architecture of vertebrates, examining fundamental tissues and organs with light and electron microscopes. Prerequisite: Biology 112. Three 50-minute periods, one 3-hour laboratory. Mitchell
-
3.00 Credits
Functions of vertebrate organ systems, with emphasis on the human body. Topics include the circulatory, digestive, nervous, muscular, hormonal, sensory, and excretory systems. Laboratory work emphasizes experimental techniques to analyze functional activities of animals. Prerequisites: Biology 112; Chemistry 113-114. Three 50-minute periods, one 3-hour laboratory. Fox
-
3.00 Credits
Important physiological functions of higher plants and relationships between these functions and the structural organization of plants. Topics include water relations and water balance, mineral nutrition, transport phenomena, assimilate allocation and partitioning, plant metabolism, stress physiology, defense strategies against herbivores and pathogens, plant growth and development (germination, fl owering, dormancy, plant hormones and growth regulators). Laboratory includes a core of experiments designed to illustrate important concepts in plant physiology and a research project of the student's choice, investigative and open-ended in character. Prerequisites: Biology 119 and Chemistry 113. Three 50-minute periods, one 3-hour laboratory. Bevington
-
3.00 Credits
Interactions between organisms and their environment that determine their distribution and abundance in nature. Attention to evolutionary adaptation of species, population dynamics, community structure and function, and ecosystem analysis. Laboratory emphasizes qualitative and quantitative fi eld investigations. Prerequisites: Biology 112 or 119 or permission of instructor. Three 50-minute periods, one 3-hour laboratory. Kuserk
-
3.00 Credits
Study of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropathology; special emphasis on functional aspect of brain organization; introduction to theories and research regarding neurodegenerative disorders through journal club discussions. Laboratory includes gross anatomy and microscopic study of the central nervous system, computer assisted neurophysiology experimentation, computerized and radiographic study of the brain and a semester-long behavior project. Prerequisite: Biology 112. Fox
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced genetics course emphasizing current knowledge and research in fundamental molecular aspects of genetics, primarily in eukaryotes. Topics include genome structure, transcriptional control, genetic regulatory pathways, and recombinant DNA technology. Prerequisites: Biology 210 and junior or senior standing. Spring. Three 50-minute periods, one 3-hour laboratory. Jones
-
3.00 Credits
Writing-intensive seminar in an area of biological science, with a focus on information literacy and the oral and written communication of biology. Students will research and present written and oral reports on the general topic. Emphasis on the development of skills in using primary biological literature and scientifi c databases, analysis and interpretation of data, and communication of ideas. Prerequisite: Senior status or permission of instructor. Fall. Three 50-minute periods. Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced topics in biochemistry, designed to provide senior-level students with an opportunity to explore projects that illustrate how concepts from biology and chemistry relate to the study of biochemistry. Emphasis on development of ability for independent analysis of biochemical problems. Includes lectures by visiting speakers on current research. Students also will complete literature research, submit written reports, and make oral presentations on a biochemical topic chosen in consultation with faculty advisor. Prerequisite: Biology/ Chemistry 328 or permission of instructor. Spring. One 100-minute period. Writing- intensive. Staff
