This study of the cellular basis of life will include the structures/functions that all cells engage in (compartmentalize, synthesize, produce energy, move, duplicate), and some cellular specialization (plants, nerve, muscle). Laboratory experiments emphasize biophysical methods for study of mitochondria.

A study of progressive, programmed changes occurring in life cycles with emphasis on animal embryology is undertaken, along with exploration of genetic, cellular, and environmental influences and controls. Laboratory study includes urchin, frog, fish, and chick embryos. Prerequisites: BIO 104-105 Take BIO-104 BIO-105;
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the principles of animal and plant ecology. Major topics include biome description, communities, succession, ecosystem structure and function, ecosystem energetic, biogeochemical cycles, population dynamics, competition, predation/perdition, and the evolution of ecosystems. Laboratories and field trips are included. Prerequisites: BIO 104-105 Take BIO-104 BIO-105;
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an analysis of both classical and current research concerning the function of the nervous system. The basic concepts of biomathematics and electro-physiological techniques will be offered. Neuroanatomy, nerve muscle interactions, and neural behavior will be stressed. Laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 104-105 Take BIO-104 BIO-105;
-
3.00 Credits
Special topics of current interest in the biological sciences are examined. Prerequisites: BIO 104-105. Take BIO-104 BIO-105;
-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to awaken in the student an awareness of the toxic nature of materials in the environment in which we live. Alternatives to the current practices that pollute our air, water, and biota will be dealt with. A study of ecosystem dynamics will be undertaken. Topics of a global nature such as acid rain, desertification, greenhouse effect, and risk assessment, will be addressed. Topics of more local interest, Lofell Landfill, PCBs in the Hudson River, and the Grass River disaster will be examined. A combination of lectures, field trips and discussions will be offered. Prerequisites: BIO 104, 105, or equivalent. Take BIO-104 BIO-105;
-
3.00 Credits
This course prepares students in communication skills required for employment and graduate training. Students are guided in preparation and delivery of oral and written reports from current biological literature. In addition, students are invited to explore current options in graduate studies and employment in biological laboratories.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an interactive lecture and laboratory course promoting research methodology, laboratory skills, critical thinking, data analysis, practice in experimental design, and active involvement in a research process. By the completion of this course, students will have developed a research proposal for their senior independent project and will have explored the research methodologies that project will require.
