3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Catalog Description: Surveys basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology, including the structure of cells, tissues, and organs and their normal physiological interactions. Laboratory experiences reinforce important concepts. Two class hours and two lab hours. Not open to students with credit in BIO105, BIO112, BIO113, BIO115, BIO116.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Catalog Description: Introduces basic chemistry, the structure, function, and biochemistry of cells, and the scientific method. Laboratory exercises develop skills including use of binocular microscopes and measuring. Two class hours and two lab hours. This is a preparatory course, for students with little or no recent experience in biology and chemistry, who plan on taking additional biology courses. Not for credit in the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Mathematics and Science program; not open to students with credit in BIO 105, 115, or 116.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Catalog Description: Studies the structures and functions of the human body. Focuses on the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous, including the senses. Major topics include anatomical terminology, the molecular and cellular basis of physiologic processes, and tissues. Emphasis on homeostasis including the role of control systems such as negative feedback and the relation of form and function. Includes selected pathologies. Laboratory work includes histological observations using microscopes, CD's and websites, anatomy studies using models and dissections, and physiology exercises. Three class hours and three lab hours. Prerequisite: BIO 104, or Advanced Placement Biology in high school, or acceptance into a health care career program.
-
2.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Catalog Description: A continuation of BIO105 with a focus on the normal structure, function, and metabolic pathways of the following systems: endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, urinary, digestive and reproductive. Acid/base balance, body fluids and electrolytes are also considered. Laboratory work includes histological observations using microscopes, CD's and websites, anatomy studies using models and dissections, and physiological exercises. Three class hours and three lab hours. Prerequisite: BIO105.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Catalog Description: Overview of basic concepts of diet and nutrition. Topics include elementary anatomy and physiology of the digestive system, introductory food chemistry, weight control, and the role of diet in health. Lab exercises analyze some popular foods for simple nutrients. Students analyze popular diets for nutritional completeness. Two class hours and two lab hours. Open to all students but does not fulfill the requirement for science majors.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Catalog Description: Overview of the broad discipline of ecology, and introduces biological and physical components of the environment and the interactions between the two. Topics include basic ecology, meteorology, hydrology, environmental degradation, and resource management. Three class hours and three lab hours. Prerequisite: High school Regents chemistry or biology or earth science or BIO 104.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Catalog Description: An immersion course held in Costa Rica in the first two weeks in January. Students travel to the Central American rain forest for an introduction to its biodiversity, neighboring environments that the forests impact, and aspects of forest destruction. Topics include different aspects of ethnobotany, elementary botany, ecology, and earth science. Open to all students. Does not fulfill science requirements for science majors. Prerequisite: Students should be in good health and be reasonably physically fit.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Catalog Description: Examines the structure and functioning of cells, including origin, physiology, biochemistry, respiration, photosynthesis, reproduction, and genetics. Laboratory exercises reinforce the lectures, which include using microscopes and measurement techniques. General Biology 1 and 2 are recommended to students transferring into premedicine or any life science program. Three class hours, three laboratory hours. General Biology 1 and 2 are not sequential. Either may be taken first. Prerequisite: BIO104 or high school Regents biology and chemistry.
-
2.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Catalog Description: Introduces the structure, functioning, diversity, and evolution of plants and animals, with emphasis on adaptation of organisms to their environments in addition to anatomical and physiological considerations. Laboratory exercises which include required dissection reinforce the lectures. General Biology 1 and 2 are recommended to students transferring to any of the life sciences programs. (General Biology I and II are not sequential. Either may be taken first.). Three lecture hours, three laboratory hours. Prerequisites: BIO104 or high school Regents biology and chemistry.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 Catalog Description: A survey course in the field of biotechnology. Topics include current career opportunities; biotechnology research; industry development and regulation; microbial, plant and animal biotechnology practices; biotechnology?s role in modern medicine, agriculture and DNA profiling; bioethics and the impact of biotechnology on society. Includes an introduction to documentation (notebooks), Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Quality Assurance (QA), current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP) and Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Regulations. One class hour. Prerequisite: BIO104 or high school Regents biology and chemistry.
