3.00 Credits
How do organisms survive in an ever-changing world? How can the smallest units of life carry out the dynamic functions of reproduction, transport, and development? The answers to these questions and others will be explored during this course. Students will gain an understanding of the basic biology of cells, and how the cells combine into specific forms with particular functions to create organisms that are fit for survival. Credit cannot be earned for both BIO 101 and BIO 104. Prerequisite: Satisfactory high school preparation.
-
3.00 Credits
Adaptive physiology and homeostatic regulation of a diverse range of living systems will be explored from a systematic approach. The continuity of biological phenomena and its maintenance will be viewed at the molecular and genetic level of understanding. These subjects provide a fundamental background necessary for advanced study in genetics, physiology, and molecular biology. Credit cannot be earned for both BIO 102 and BIO 105.
-
3.00 Credits
The animal kingdom is introduced to non-majors. Correlation between structure and function will be investigated among invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Interesting aspects of animal behavior will be discussed. Lecture, lab and fieldwork, and discussion.
-
3.00 Credits
We must all live in this world, the very existence of which has been, and currently continues to be, threatened by pollution created by human technology, lifestyles, and over-population. In this course, students will investigate these problems and learn about the possibility, practicality, and morality of various solutions. Credit cannot be earned for both BIO 110 and BIO 130.
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes the essential physiological principles underlying the function of the human body. The following systems and/or units will be covered: cells and tissues, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, blood, respiratory, digestive, urinary and fluid balance, and reproduction. (Not open to biology majors without special permission.)
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory level course covering the various forms of life on earth, from microbes to humans, to redwood trees. It is an inquiry-based course in biology intended for the non-major and covers the cellular and molecular basis of life on earth, how cells assemble to form a multi-cellular organism, how the organism relates to the environment, the homeostatic mechanisms that allow for survival, and how these living forms reproduce. Structure is discussed in terms of its relation to function. Students are encouraged to formulate their own questions and are taught how to search for the best answers with the resources available.
-
3.00 Credits
First term: Students will investigate the structure and function of the cell, the skeletal and neuromuscular systems, and the proprioceptive and reticular activating systems relative to sensation, perception, and movement. Second term: Studies of the blood, circulatory, digestive, and urinary systems will be included. Laboratory work will include experiments on animals and animal tissue and exercises with human subjects.

3.00 Credits
This is a study of the principles of modern and classical genetics, including molecular biology of genetic material and its functions; mechanisms of recombination in phage, bacteria, and higher organisms; control of gene activity during development; gene frequencies in populations; and selection and evolution. Laboratory studies will include phage, bacteria and Drosophila, and use of biochemical analysis. Prerequisites: BIO 104 and BIO 105 Take BIO-104 BIO-105;
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the principles and techniques of microbiology including a brief study of infectious diseases, the host defense mechanisms, sanitation, and the microbiology of water, foods, and soil. Laboratory. A college course in biology or chemistry is recommended. Take 1 courses; From Departments BIO CHM;
