2.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introductory biology course with laboratory designed for non-science majors. Topics covered include: the scientific process, cells, biochemistry, cellular metabolism, genetics, and biotechnology. The emphasis is on application of basic biological principles to contemporary issues and problems. Students will achieve basic scientific literacy with a goal of improved critical thinking, writing, and problem-solving skills. B
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Part II of an introductory laboratory biology course for non-science majors. Topics covered in part II include: evolution, biodiversity, plant and animal anatomy and physiology, ecology, and environmental science. The emphasis is on application of basic biological principles to contemporary issues and problems. Students will achieve basic scientific literacy with a goal of improved critical thinking, writing, and problem-solving skills Prerequisite: BIO 118 or permission of instructor. B
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course exposes students to the identification, selection, adaptation, and utilization of common ornamental and native plants in New York State. Landscape value and wildlife usage of plants will be discussed where appropriate. The student will gain identification proficiency in association with a knowledge of plant pattern and environmental planning. A field project of individualized interest will be included. Field trips to area arboreta are included. (Also listed as HRT 151) BIO 121 or permission of instructor. F
-
3.00 Credits
This is a lecture and laboratory course designed to acquaint students with a detailed study of the major muscles of the lower torso and extremities of the body and their function Focus will be placed on the origin, insertion, action, innervation, and range of motion of specific muscles This course includes the study of the name, shape, and location of bones and tendons, as well as their related joints BIO 171 and BIO 172. S
-
1.00 Credits
A continuation of BIO 171 to include the circulatory, respiratory, excretory, reproductive, and endocrine systems, along with genetics and fluid/electrolyte/pH balance Laboratory will constitute a continuation of BIO 171 lab studies: microscopic and macroscopic levels of analysis, the latter including electronic apparatus, mammalian dissection, and elementary physiological experiments. This course consists of a three-hour lecture, a two-hour lab, and a one-hour seminar. BIO 171 or BIO 111 or permission of instructor. B
-
2.00 Credits
This is a five day residential course at Muller Field station. The course will be offered during Jan Plan. A combination of lecture and field work will be used to gain a proficiency in the over wintering adaptations of organisms in the northeast, specifically the Finger Lakes region. Adaptations of mammals will be emphasized. Lectures will focus on identification, natural history, behavior, physiology and ecology of mammals. Laboratory will include live-trapping, mark and recapture techniques to assess habitat selection of small mammals residing in the subnivean environment. Evaluation of students is based on 1) class participation, 2) group summary of trapping results, 3) oral critique of a recent scientific article on winter ecology, 4) maintenance of a field journal : BIO 122. JP
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
An investigation of amphibians and reptiles including, but not limited to, ecology, behavior, life histories, structure and function, environmental impact, and evolutionary relationships. Amphibian and reptile identification and sampling methods will be integrated into the course. Herps of New York state will be emphasized. Although there is no formal laboratory component, there will be some field work involved Prerequisite: BIO 122 or permission of instructor. S
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
A study of climatic, edaphic, and biotic factors as they relate to species distribution and population dynamics in selected biomes of New York State and the world. Students develop deeper understanding of the ecological principles concerning the interaction between organisms and their environment. (Also listed as CON 202.) Writing Intensive BIO 121, 122, ENG 101, or permission of instructor. F
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with an intense study of cell structure and function. A wide range of topics will be covered and will include: biochemistry, membrane structure and function, organelle structure and function, the cell cycle and cancer, necrosis and apoptosis, cell signaling, and the cellular basis of tissue structure. BIO 121 or permission of instructor. S
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
The study of birds with special emphasis on anatomy, physiology, life histories, and identification of birds common to Western New York. Lecture and laboratory work supplemented by several field trips, including early morning bird observations. Trips to selected local birding areas are required. (Also listed as CON 211.) Prerequisite: BIO 121, 122, or permission of instructor. S
