4.00 Credits
The general physiological processes in major groups of animals will be addressed. From the most primitive to the most complex, the physiology of animals will be studied through evolutionary and embryological approaches. Integrated lecture/lab. Pre- or co-requisites: BIOL 202, 203, 205 (pre-2011: BIOL 105, 106), CHEM 111, 112. (4)
-
0.00 Credits
This lab covers the physiology of all animal body systems, including both vertebrates and invertebrates. Individual labs include, among others, ciruclation, nerve response, endocrine function, renal physiology and muscle contraction. Each lab is designed so that the student will collect and analyze data pertaining to each of the physiologic systems.

4.00 Credits
This course will take a cellular, molecular and genetic approach to unravel the complex biology of plants from the microscopic cell level to the structure and function of higher plant systems. Topics will include evolutionary developmental biology (evo/devo), plant anatomy, plant-microbe and plant-environment interactions, abiotic stress physiology, soil-water relations, and molecular genetics. Weekly lab experiences will deal with the microscopic organization of plant bodies, local field trips, plant cell and tissue culture, and plant biotechnology. A functional knowledge of basic cell biology and genetics as well as lab and microscope skills will be needed. Prerequisites: BIOL 202, 204, 205; CHEM 111,112.
-
4.00 Credits
Astrobiology is the interdisciplinary study of the origin of life on Earth and the search for life beyond our planet. Drawing on current research in disparate fields, such as planetary science and biochemistry, students will use Utah's unique environmental features as a backdrop for engaging in discussions about conditions that push the limits of life. Students will explore topics such as life in extreme environments, life in space, and the molecular origin of life. They will participate in field trips and lab work, as well as read current primary literature in the field. Prerequisite: BIOL 203, 204 (pre-2011: BIOL 105). (4)
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the organisms that compose the fossil record as well as the methods that paleontologists use to reconstruct the life of the past. Topics include modes of preservation, classification and the species problem, biases of the fossil record, phylogenetic reconstructions, functional morphology, paleoecology, morphometric analyses, evolutionary developmental biology, evolutionary trends, and critical intervals in the history of life. Same as ESS 315. (4)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the chemistry of living organisms. Begins with a review of basic biology and organic chemistry as it applies to the biological systems, the structure and function of the cell, water and its importance in the biological system and energy considerations. Detailed discussions of protein chemistry, enzymology, carbohydrate structure, cellular metabolism, and lipid chemistry. Prerequisites: BIOL 205 (pre-2011: BIOL 105); CHEM 304. BIOL 204 is recommended. Same as CHEM 350 (4)
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to programming techniques that apply to a wide range of scientific disciplines. Topics include basic programming principles, equation solving, and model simulation. Prerequisites: PHYS 211, or both PHYS 151 and MATH 201 or equivalent. Students who have completed CMPT 201 may not take this course without instructor's approval. Same as CHEM 370 and PHYS 370. (4)
-
1.00 Credits
For teaching assistants in the biology classes. Practical experience in teaching and grading undergraduate biology courses. A maximum of two credit hours of BIOL 387 may be applied toward the major or minor. Prerequisite: consent of program chair and instructor.(1)
-
2.00 Credits
Topical courses that are not currently a part of the regular curriculum. For junior and senior biology majors only.
-
1.00 Credits
A student-initiated in-house study of some biological topic or project. A maximum of four credit hours of BIOL 401 can be credited toward the Biology major or minor. Prerequisite: consent of instructor and school dean.
