BIOL Biology

This lecture and lab course will provide a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans, including chemistry of life, cells, structure, function, and reproduction. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental biological principles relevant to the course objectives.

TSI: R, M.

This course introduces general nutritional concepts in health and disease and includes practical applications of that knowledge. Special emphasis is given to nutrients and nutritional processes including functions, food sources, digestion, absorption, and metabolism. Food safety, availability, and nutritional information including food labels, advertising, and nationally established guidelines are addressed. TSI: R

This lecture and lab course will provide a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans, including evolution, ecology, plant and animal diversity, and physiology. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental biological principles relevant to the course objectives.

TSI: R, M.

Fundamental biological concepts relevant to plant physiology, life, cycle, growth and development, structure and function, and cellular and molecular metabolism. The role of plants in the environment, evolution, and phylogeny of major plant groups, algae, and fungi. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental biological concepts relevant to the course material. TSI: R, M.

Fundamental biological concepts relevant to animals, including systematics, evolution, structure and function, cellular and molecular metabolism, reproduction, development, diversity, phylogeny, and ecology. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental biological concepts relevant to the course material. TSI: R, M.

Study of the principles of molecular and classical genetics and the function and transmission of hereditary material. May include population genetics and genetic engineering. Appropriate placement score or TSI exemption or completion of the appropriate level of Developmental Studies course. TSI: R, M.

This lecture and lab course is the first part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues, and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental biological principles relevant to the course objectives.

This lecture and lab course is the second part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive (including nutrition) urinary (including fluid and electrolyte balance), and reproductive (including human development and genetics). Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.

Study of the principles of molecular and classical genetics and the function and transmission of hereditary materials. May include population genetics and genetic engineering. Appropriate placement score or TSI exemption or completion of the appropriate level of Developmental Studies course. TSI: R, M.

Study of the morphology, physiology, and taxonomy of representative groups of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms. Pure cultures of microorganisms grown on selected media are used in learning laboratory techniques. Includes a brief preview of food microbes, public health, and immunology. TSI: R, M.
