3.00 Credits
This course covers the structure, reproduction, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and identification of microorganisms. It includes a study of their relationship to each other and to other living organisms, their distribution in nature, and their beneficial and disease causing effects on humans. (Lecture and laboratory course). Prerequisites: BIO 101-102. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers a specialized review of the principles of sound nutrition and the effects of diet on personal well-being. Environmental, social, physical, and psychological reasons underlying poor diet are examined. 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the structure and function of various classes of drugs. Included in the course are signal transduction pathways and ligand receptor interactions. Prerequisites: BIO 102 and CPC 202. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the immune response, both humoral and cell mediated, including antigen-antibody structure and reactions, immunoglobulins and host-parasite interactions. Laboratory techniques will include current methods of immunology.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the structure and function of normal human and animal cells, and tissues. Laboratory studies include microscopic examination of prepared slide and electron micrographs. Prerequisites: BIO 101-102; BIO 202. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to study the interactive physiology of mammals, with emphasis of the human organism, as regulated by the endocrine system. It will cover the following areas: (1) cellular endocrinology, including hormone-receptor interactions, second messenger systems, and hormonal synthesis; (2) systemic endocrinology, including regulation of body metabolism and homeostasis, and reproductive endocrinology; (3) new trends in molecular endocrinology; (4) disease states due to endocrine malfunction. Prerequisites: BIO 101-102. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. By understanding ecological concepts such as niches, energy and nutrient cycling, food chains and webs, we can appreciate a community's intricate structure. Although species developed unique adaptations to survive in competitive environments, each species in some way contributes to the well being of its community. Human societies have long been an important part of these communities, often to the benefit of both. The student will see humankind in a new light, as part of a complex system of interacting components, subject to all the laws of nature, and will become increasingly aware of the limits imposed by them. Prerequisites: BIO 101-102 or departmental permission. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of human genetics in order to elucidate the basic laws of heredity and their physical basis (classical genetics); structure and function of the gene (molecular genetics); and population genetics, with attention to human abnormalities as illustrations of these principles. Prerequisite: Biology 102. 3 credits.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the chemistry of biomolecules, metabolic pathways and mechanisms of control that contribute to homeostasis and survival at the cellular, tissue, organ, organ system and whole body levels. Although structured as a one semester course, all aspects of a two semester lecture course in Biochemistry are covered on detail. These topics include a description of the classes of biomolecules, functions of enzymes, major metabolic pathways, respiration and photsynthesis, and important aspects of molecular biology. This course counts as an elective towards a major in Biology. It also fulfills the new American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training Guidelines. Prerequisitres: Bio 102, Chem. 102. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
The main focus of this course is regulation of gene expression. It integrates advanced biotechnology, cell biology and genetics. The laboratory consists of experiments designed to support concepts presented in lecture. Prerequisites: BIO 101-102. 4 credits.
