Biology (BIOL) |
This lecture-laboratory course is designed to prepare the student for college-level biology courses. Using an active learning process, the building of skills in the reading, writing, terminology and experimental techniques in the biological sciences is presented. Study methods, note taking, time management and types of tests for the biological sciences are also included. Lecture: 1.5 hours, Lab: 1.5 hours
This biology course is designed to introduce basic biological principles while specifically examining life processes at the cellular level. Topics include cell chemistry, the relationship between cell structure and function, metabolism, molecular genetics and cellular communication. Contemporary cell-related technology, its impact and significance will be emphasized. Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 3 hours
The course is an introduction to the fundamentals of biology at the organismal level through the presentation and discussion of biological processes and systems, including genetics, evolution and ecology. Additionally, the diversity in form and function of multicellular organisms (plants, fungi and animals) will be explored. Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 2 hours
Using the theme of evolution as a framework, the course is an introduction to the fundamentals of biology on the cellular level through the presentation of such topics as structure, function, metabolism, genetics, reproduction and differentiation. Additionally, the diversity in form and function of unicellular organisms (bacteria, archaebacteria and protists) will be explored. Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 2 hours
The study of the human organism with respect to the gross and microscopic anatomy of the organ systems. Laboratory work includes dissection of the cat and appropriate isolated organs. (Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that students take BIOL 1002 - Introductory Biology: Cellular, before taking BIOL 1010.) Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 3 hours
This course presents a study of the human organism, including basic chemical composition and function of the cell; The course stresses homeostatic control systems and coordinated body functions. (Prerequisite: BIOL 1010) Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 3 hours
A study of man’s relation to the ecosystem. Environmental issues such as energy supplies, energy alternatives, forms of pollution, food production, population growth and resources management will be considered. Lecture: 3 hours
This course will introduce students to finfish, shellfish and plant aquaculture. Topics will include culture procedures, culture systems, genetics, feeding, disease, marketing and permitting. The team nature of successful aquaculture will be stressed. Lab studies will include the culture of finfish, molluscs, microalgae and hydroponics. Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 2 hours
Covers the basic principles of anatomy and physiology of the human body with consideration of the relationship of these body systems with their environment. Demonstrations and audio-visual presentations are included. Lecture: 3 hours
Lectures provide an understanding of the theoretical basis and physiological implications of clinical procedures in the medical office and prepare the student for further professional training. Laboratory experiences in vital signs, asepsis, sterilization, blood studies and urine studies supplement the lecture material. (Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Medical Secretary/Assistant Program and BIOL 1070.) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours
Introduction to basic pharmacology, terminology and mechanism of drug action. Use, adverse response, special cautions and interactions of drugs commonly used in dental and medical practices are emphasized. (Prerequisite: Enrollment in Dental Assistant Program, Medical Transcription or Medical Secretary/Assistant Program and BIOL 1070.) Lecture: 1 hour
A course designed to teach people more about themselves. Topics include cancers, birth defects, birth control, organ transplants, cloning, infectious diseases, heart disease and diets. Lecture: 3 hours
An exploration of the physiological, psychological and cultural aspects of human sexuality. Topics include reproductive health, forms and evolution of sexual expression, psychosexual development and the role of sex in the individual’s life as well as in society. Lecture: 3 hours
This course covers the scientific evidence for evolution, the sources of variation, the role of natural selection, the formation of species and the basis for human evolution. Current scientific research is stressed. (Prerequisite: One semester of biology, preferably BIOL 1001 or 1002) Lecture: 3 hours
Basic concepts of inheritance, variation and evolution in plants and animals, including a survey of Mendelian, molecular, cellular and population genetics. (Prerequisite: One year of biology) Lecture: 3 hours
Preparation and presentation of papers dealing with selected topics in biology. (Prerequisite: One year of biology or permission of instructor) Lecture: 1 hour
Selected aspects of genetics are demonstrated using bacteria, fungi, fruit flies and other organisms. Each student must design, carry out and present the result of a project. (Prerequisite: One year of biology and concurrent registration in BIOL 2090) Lab: 4 hours
A descriptive approach to the anatomy, growth, reproduction and genetics of selected microorganisms. Topics include pathogenic mechanisms, immunology, microbial control and applied microbiology. (Prerequisites: BIOL 1010 and 1020) Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 3 hours
A look at microbes, particularly bacteria, from a biochemical and molecular perspective. Emphasis is placed on microbial physiology and genetics with applications to biotechnology. (Prerequisites: One year of chemistry and one semester of biology.) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 4 hours
