Course Descriptions<br />

196 ROANE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE<br />

BIOLOGY<br />

For a student to receive credit for a biology course, the lecture section must be accompanied<br />

by a laboratory session during the same semester.<br />

BIOL 1110—General Biology I . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Credits<br />

Biochemistry of cell function, plant and animal anatomy and physiology. F, Sp, Su<br />

3 hours lecture—2 hours laboratory<br />

BIOL 1120—General Biology II . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Credits<br />

Plant and animal reproduction, genetics, evolution, ecology and behavior. BIOL 1110 recommended,<br />

but not required to be taken in sequence. F, Sp, Su<br />

3 hours lecture—2 hours laboratory<br />

BIOL 1130—Introduction to Radiation Biology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

Introductory study of the structure and function of the human body with emphasis on basic<br />

concepts important to understanding the effects of radiation and other environmental considerations<br />

on various target body systems. (Prerequisite: BIOL 1110) Sp<br />

BIOL 2010—Human Anatomy and Physiology I . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Credits<br />

A study of basic biological chemistry, cellular structure and function (including cellular respiration<br />

protein synthesis and cell division), histology, and integumentary, skeletal and nervous<br />

system. The laboratory will provide experiments to illustrate principles covered in lecture.<br />

Note: Students are to bring latex or rubber gloves to the 1st class session. F, Sp<br />

3 hours lecture—3 hours laboratory<br />

BIOL 2015—Environmental Science . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

A study of chemical, physical and biological processes in nature and how human dependence<br />

on these systems is compromised by our activities. Lecture and laboratory activities provide<br />

instruction in such topics as resource management, nutrient cycles, biomes, ecosystems, air and<br />

water quality, climate, human population growth, soil conservation, and waste management.<br />

(This course satisfies the three hour natural science requirement for AAS career education programs<br />

such as Paralegal, Criminal Justice, Business Management, and Contemporary<br />

Management. Students planning to transfer into a baccalaureate program should consult their<br />

advisor when choosing natural science electives). F, Sp<br />

BIOL 2020—Human Anatomy and Physiology II . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Credits<br />

A study of the anatomy and physiology of the muscular, circulatory and immune systems, respiratory,<br />

digestive, excretory, endocrine and reproductive systems. The laboratory will provide<br />

anatomical investigation of and physiological experimentation with these systems.<br />

(Prerequisite: BIOL 2010, Human Anatomy and Physiology I) Note: Students are to bring<br />

latex or rubber gloves to the 1st class session. Sp, Su<br />

3 hours lecture—3 hours laboratory<br />

BIOL 2110—Field Biology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Credits<br />

An elective field-oriented course covering fauna and flora identification, basic ecological principles,<br />

and outdoor skills. The course will generally be offered as a combination of classroom<br />

instruction followed by an extended field experience. A special fee will be assessed to cover<br />

equipment, food, and transportation costs. Su<br />

BIOL 2120—Cell Biology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Credits<br />

A study of Cellular structure and function including cell membranes, organelles, extracellular<br />

matrix, enzymes, cell cycle, DNA replication, Transcription, translation, and control of gene<br />

expression. Special topics include molecular biology, cancer biology, immunology, and cellular<br />

communication. (Prerequisites: BIOL 1110, 1120 or the equivalent of 2 years of high<br />

school biology and CHEM 1010 and 1020) F<br />

3 hours lecture—3 hours laboratory
