-
4.00 Credits
In this course, students learn the structure and function of higher vascular plants as organisms. Plant development, growth and behavior are examined at both the molecular and structural levels to give a comprehensive view of the plant and its environment.
Prerequisite:
BIO 260 [Min Grade: D]
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the relation between ancient/cultural botanical knowledge and its current application in modern pharmacology and alternative forms of medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of plants for food, medicine, stimulation, religious rituals and death.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying development of animals from gametes to adults. Covers the major stages and selected aspects of vertebrate development in importance animal model systems. Particular focus in on the importance of differential gene expression and its regulation in development.
Prerequisite:
BIO 214 [Min Grade: D] and BIO 218 [Min Grade: D]
-
2.00 Credits
Includes observations into development processes in a diverse group of organisms including developmental principles in simple multicellular protests, gametogenesis in diverse animal, fertilization in sea urchins, embryonic development of vertebrates, regeneration of planarians, and the role of gene regulation in fruit fly development. Some or all pre-requisites may be taken as either a pre-requisite or co-requisite. Please see the department for more information.
Prerequisite:
BIO 270 [Min Grade: D] (Can be taken Concurrently)
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the biological responses to the physical and psychological stress, discussing in turn stress responses in various organ systems. Emphasis is given to the analysis and evaluation of conflicting biological evidence on stress effects.
Prerequisite:
BIO 100 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 101 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 107 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 109 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 122 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 141 [Min Grade: D]
-
2.00 Credits
Covers biochemical techniques ranging from basic laboratory preparatory work such as making solutions to the measurement of enzyme kinetics and substrate specificity.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 242 [Min Grade: D]
-
3.00 Credits
Provides comparative study of the physiology of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Examines physiological principles by studying cardiovascular adaptations, water balance, respiratory adaptations, and other homeostatic mechanisms in model systems, including fish, amphibians, mammals, birds, and invertebrates.
Prerequisite:
BIO 201 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 224 [Min Grade: D] or ENVS 284 [Min Grade: D]
-
4.00 Credits
Covers bioenergetics and metabolism; enzymes, substrates, products, coenzymes, transporters, pathways (catabolic and anabolic for carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides). Intracellular regulation, intercellular regulation, and how all this serves to meet the need of the cell and organism.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 242 [Min Grade: D]
-
2.00 Credits
Covers the application of recombinant DNA techniques in the creation of genetically modified foods. Explores the many uses of these food. Also covers the social, ethical and environmental issues involved in the use of genetically modified foods.
Prerequisite:
BIO 100 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 107 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 122 [Min Grade: D] or BIO 141 [Min Grade: D]
-
2.00 Credits
Computational laboratory examining quantitative facets of vertebrate physiology through simulation experiments. Complements BIO 310 Comparative Physiology. Example systems examined include gas and solute exchangers, open vs closed circulations, and thermoregulatory controllers. Some or all pre-requisites may be taken as either a pre-requisite or co-requisite. Please see the department for more information.
Prerequisite:
BIO 310 [Min Grade: D] (Can be taken Concurrently)
