4.00 Credits
Study of organisms, cells, and cellular components at the chemical and molecular levels. Structure and function of nucleic acids and proteins, including enzyme kinetics as well as aspects of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism including regulatory signaling pathways will be covered. Applications to basic research and human health will also be included. Three class hours and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 152 Principles of Biology III and CHM 104 General Chemistry II. CHM 201 Organic Chemistry I or CHM 203 or 205 Honors Organic Chemistry I should be completed or enrolled concurrently.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the morphology, physiology, and genetics of bacteria as well as the structure and replication of viruses. Relationship of these microbes to human disease is emphasized. Laboratories stress aseptic technique, microscopic observation, bacterial physiology, and identification. Three class hours plus three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 152 Principles of Biology III: Molecules & Cells
-
4.00 Credits
An overview of the cellular, molecular, and developmental mechanisms that control embryogenesis from fertilization through organogenesis. Laboratories include the study of live embryos from sea urchins to chickens as well as preserved embryo slides. Three class hours plus three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 152 Principles of Biology III: Molecules & Cells
-
4.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of the insect. Insect physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology are integrated with an exploration of insect diversity, ecology, evolution, and the impact of insects on humans. Labs develop insect identification skills and provide experience in a variety of biochemical and molecular techniques as they are applied to current research in insect science. Three lecture hours and three lab hours . Prerequisite: BIO 152 Principles of Biology III: Molecules & Cells
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the evolution and morphology of vertebrates. Emphasis is given to the comparative study of vertebrate homology and the adaptive value of structure. Laboratories consist of detailed dissection of representative taxa with emphasis on shark, cat, and human anatomy. Three class hours plus three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 151 Principles of Biology II: Cells & Organisms
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of the molecular, cellular, and physiological and developmental foundations of nervous system function. Topics discussed will include the ionic and electrical properties of neurons, the biochemistry of synaptic signaling, neuronal and synaptic plasticity, basic neuronal circuits, the development and target specification of neurons, and neuroendocrine regulation. Relevant primary literature will be introduced through class discussions and independent critical analyses. A laboratory will introduce the research methods of anatomy and neurophysiology and will culminate in a studentdriven independent project. Three class hours and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 152 Principles of Biology III: Molecules & Cells and CHM 104 General Chemistry II
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the concepts and principles that form the basis for understanding the mechanisms of animal physiology. The emphasis of the course is on the interrelationship of physiological processes and how they relate to the biological needs of mammals. Three class hours, three laboratory hours, and one recitation hour per week. Prerequisite: BIO 151 Principles of Biology II: Cells & Organisms
-
4.00 Credits
A detailed and indepth study of avian natural history. Emphasis is given to population ecology, behavioral ecology, and conservation biology of birds. Laboratories are exercises and field trips to develop and practice techniques to identify, describe, and record the biology of birds in their natural habitat. Three lecture hours plus three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 151 Principles of Biology II: Cells & Organisms
-
4.00 Credits
A field research oriented course emphasizing plants. The focus is on articulating and quantitatively answering relevant research questions on the diversity, ecology, and evolution of plants. Special emphasis is given to hypothesis development, data collection and analysis, and interpretation and presentation of results. Three class hours plus three laboratory hours per week with extensive field work. Prerequisite: BIO 151 Principles of Biology II: Cells & Organisms Meets general academic requirement W.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the ecological relationship between plants and humans and the implications for local and global conservation. Topics covered include medicinal plant use, agroecology, plant ecology, tropical ecology, and communitybased conservation. Three lecture hours plus three laboratory/field hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 151 Principles of Biology II: Cells & Organisms
