Prerequisite: Successful completion of either CHEM& 121 or CHEM& 161 with a 2.0 or better or concurrent enrollment in CHEM& 121 or CHEM& 161. Recent high school biology or BIOL& 100 strongly recommended. The first quarter in a three-quarter general biology series, this series is designed for life-science majors, pre-professional students, and for students intending to take advanced courses in the biological sciences. Topics of study include: evolution, adaptation, population genetics, speciation, phylogenies, molecular evolution, biodiversity of life forms, ecology, biogeography, and conservation biology. Related investigations take place in a three-hour lab period each week. NOTE: This majors' biology sequence may be taken in the following order: BIOL& 222, 223, and 221, with instructor's permission.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of BIOL& 221 with a 2.0 or better and successful completion of either CHEM& 121 or CHEM& 161 with a 2.0 or better, or instructor permission. Note: Students taking only BIOL& 222 as an alternative to BIOL& 211 must have instructor permission and may satisfy the CHEM& 121 prerequisite with recent high school chemistry with a B or better. The second quarter in a three-quarter general biology series, this series is designed for life-science majors, pre-professional students, and for students intending to take advanced courses in the biological sciences. Topics of study include: structure and function of biological molecules, structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, membrane transport, cell metabolism and energetics, cell division, and classical genetics, human genetics, molecular genetics, gene expression, and biotechnology. Related investigations take place in a three-hour lab period each week. NOTE: This majors' bioloby sequence may be taken in the following order: BIOL& 222,223, and 221 with instructor's permission.

5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: A minimum grade of 2.0 in BIOL& 211, or recent High School A&P and Chemistry with a B or better, or a score of 3 or more in Advanced Placement Biology, or instructor permission. An analysis of the structure and function of human skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems as well as the role of receptor-ligand interactions and introductory histology. Emphasis will be given to the homeostatic relationship between systems. Four hours of lab per week will be devoted to hands-on experience with required cat dissection as well as computer analysis of muscle physiology. Tissue slides, models and skeletons will be utilized. Lab is required for credit. (Formerly BIO 210) (F,W) LS

Prerequisite: A minimum grade of 2.0 in BIOL& 241 or equivalent The second quarter of a two-quarter sequence. Includes the structure, function and pathology of the cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Emphasis will be given to the homeostatic relationships between systems. Four hours of lab per week will be devoted to human autopsy slides, required hands-on experience with cat and organ dissection, experimental procedures in cardiovascular function , and computer analysis of renal function. Lab is required for credit. (Formerly BIO 211) (W,S) LS

5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: A minimum grade of 2.0 in BIOL& 211 or recent high school A&P and chemistry with a B or better, or a score of 3 or higher in Advanced Placement Biology, or instructor permission. A survey of microbes and their activities. Emphasis will be given to the areas of bacteriology, immunology and virology. Four hours of lab per week are required for credit. Labs will deal with the culture and identification of organisms (including throat, stool, and viral cultures), as well as genetic transformation and ELISA testing for HIV. (Formerly BIO 215) (F,S) LS

5.00 Credits
A study of the basic principles of plant life. Topics of study include: structures and functions of flowering plants and their cells, tissues, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds, cell metabolism emphasizing photosynthesis, transport of water and nutrients, growth and development of plants from seed to maturity, cell division, and plant genetics. Related investigations take place during two hours of lab each week. Laboratory topics include: a microscopic study of tissues, roots, stems, leaves, and flower structures. Additionally, lab periods study the diversity of plants and their relatives and investigate vegetative propagation of common plant species. A greenhouse is available for class use. (W) LS

5.00 Credits
Field botany involves the identification and classification of local plants of the Columbia Basin area. Different biomes are studied with emphasis on the steppe and shrub-steppe vegetation common to this area. Students participate in seven field trips to collect native plants. Following field trips, students identify, press, dry, and mount collected plants in order to assemble a required plant collection. During laboratory sessions students learn to use a taxonomic key to identify and classify collected plants. NOTE: This is a field course with required field trips. Field trips often involve hiking over uneven terrain: students climb up slopes, both on and off trails to collect plant specimens. Any questions concerning these filed trips may be directed to the instructor. (S) LS
