Biology I is a survey of principles of molecular and cellular biology, the cell cycle and genetics using animal models. Through these themes, the student becomes familiar with major animal groups, their salient characteristics, environmental interactions, and postulated evolutionary relationships. The following topics are covered in this course: the process of scientific research, chemistry of life, metabolism, cellular structure and function, the cell cycle, meiosis, genetics, and major animal groups.
A study of the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body. Topics to be covered include the cardiovascular system; lymphatic system and immunity; respiratory system; digestive system; metabolism and nutrition; urinary system; fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance; reproductive system; and development and inheritance. Concurrent enrollment in BIO244L is required. Prerequisite: BIO234 and BIO234L.
This is an upper division science course designed to train and equip students in the basics of health care, to prepare them to assess and promote sustainable community-based health practices in the developing world. Upon completion of this course, students will have the opportunity to travel to support medical professionals in providing health care services to the people of Haiti. Each year, during the fall semester, students must apply and be accepted as part of the Medical Mission team in order to take this course.
Students will learn basic physiological processes of animals. Topics include nervous systems, endocrinology, muscle function, circulation of blood, respiration, osmoregulation, and excretion. Prerequisites: SC210,L, SC220,L, SC214,L, SC224,L
Examination of eukaryotic cell structure and function at the molecular level with specific emphasis on membranes, organelles,cytoskeleton, signaling, division, differentiation, energetics, apoptosis, gene structure and function, DNA replication, RNA and protein synthesis, viruses, and analysis of experimental methodologies used to study subcellular components. Concurrent enrollment in SC330L is required. Prereqs: SC210, SC214, SC224
Chemistry of biological systems: amino acids, proteins, enzymes and catalysis; carbohydrates, lipids and membranes; metabolism and its regulation; gene structure, replication and expression. Prerequisites: BIO210, CHM214, BIO220, CHM224, CHM314, SC304. Recommended: CHM324 or co-requisite enrollment in CHM324
This course offers an in-depth exploration of the fundamental principles that govern the chemistry of life. Through a comprehensive study of organic chemistry and its intersection with biology, this course provides a solid foundation for understanding the biochemical processes that underlie living systems. Students will delve into the structure, properties, and reactions of organic molecules while gaining insights into how these molecules drive essential biological functions. This is a lower division course required for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
