-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to the background, predictions, and empirical evidence for biological effects of increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Emphasis on regional-scale consequences for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, including agricultural and urban ecosystems. Lectures, demonstrations, exercises, and discussions based on current science, with focus on NE North America. Prerequisite (s): A Bio 110 or equivalent.? ?
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to people as biological and cultural organisms and to ecological resources and services (e.g. energy flow and productivity, matter cycling, succession in ecosystems, use of resources, biodiversity). Concepts and connections to major issues of sustainability such as food and energy production, exploitation of resources (e.g. fresh water, oil, soil), pollution, global warming and associated climate changes, human overpopulation, public health and social problems all considered in a historical and contemporary context. Does not yield credit for the major in biology. Prerequisite(s): Sophomore standing or above.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Laboratory classroom training in selected areas of biological sciences. Particular areas of study to be announced each semester. Yields laboratory credit towards the major in biological sciences.? May be repeated for credit when topic varies. Prerequisite(s): Consult with instructor for specific prerequisites. S/U or A-E graded. May not be offered 2008-2009.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to modern techniques in cell biology, including advanced optical microscopy, DNA extraction and analysis, protein electrophoresis and western blotting, cell homogenization and fractionation, and cell culture. These techniques are used to investigate cell motility, membrane structure and permeability, mitochondrial respiration, DNA replication, the cell cycle, and cell adhesion. One laboratory period per week; additional time as required. Prerequisite or co-requisite: A Bio 217; A Bio 365.
-
3.00 Credits
The development of form and function in animals with emphasis on molecular analyses of organismal and cellular events underlying fertilization, early development, morphogenesis and growth. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 212Y.
-
2.00 Credits
This laboratory course examines the mechanisms of animal and plant development at the molecular and cellular level by modern and classical techniques. Topics include gametogenesis, fertilization, early and later development, cell division and morphogenesis. One laboratory period per week; additional time as required. Prerequisite or co-requisite(s): A Bio 303.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide a broad introduction to the field of exercise physiology. Topics covered will include cellular energy metabolism, pulmonary and cardiovascular responses to exercise, muscle physiology, training, nutrition, body composition, and exercise testing. Students will spend some time in the human performance laboratory where the focus will on be applied exercise physiology and performance testing. Specialized topics include exercise at high altitude, temperature regulation, sports nutrition, exercise performance during the growth and development period, and the relationship of exercise and physical activity to human health and disease. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 110 and A Bio 111 or A Bio 111Z. May not be offered in 2008-2009.
-
3.00 Credits
Ecological, medical, and social interrelationships of selected parasitic diseases of people and domestic animals in temperate, semi-tropical, and tropical climates; role of wild animals as reservoirs or vectors of parasitic diseases in humans. Prerequisite(s): 10 credits of biology or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the morphology, physiology, structure, genetics, and metabolism of microorganisms, including the roles played by microorganisms in medical, environmental, agricultural, and biotechnological sciences. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 212Y, or both A Bio 111 or A Bio 111Z and A Bio 205; and A Chm 342 or A Bio 365.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory studies that deal with the culture and study of microorganisms, the dynamics of microbial growth, and the physiological basis of bacterial identification. One laboratory per week; additional flexible time as required. Prerequisites: A Bio 212 and?365.? Prerequisite(s) or co-requisite: A Bio 314.
