Biology
BIOL 1514 - General Biology I 3/2 (4)
Prerequisite: Appropriate assessment score or completion of
ENGL 1413 with a grade of C or better or consent of instructor.
This course is an introduction to the fundamental principles of
biology. It includes a wide variety of studies, from the structure
of organic molecules to the organization of the biosphere. Some
of the areas of study include ecology, genetics, cell and organismal
reproduction, population biology, evolution, metabolism,
cellular structure, and environmental biology. In addition to the
study of these topics, basic laboratory skills and techniques are
introduced. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective. IAI: L1
900L Life science. IAI: BIO 910 Biological Sciences.
BIOL 1524 - General Biology II 3/2 (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL 1514. This course will pursue the study of
energy exchange in living systems with emphasis on energy
procurement and exchange in mammalian systems. The interaction
of humans with the environment will be emphasized in the
study of human physiological processes. Comparisons between
humans and other organisms with respect to these processes will
be included. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective. IAI:
BIO 910 Biological Sciences.
BIOL 1554 - Human Biology 3/2 (4)
Prerequisite: Appropriate assessment score or completion
of ENGL 1413 with a grade of C or better or consent of
instructor. The structure and function of human tissue, organs,
and systems will be studied. Strong emphasis is placed
on developing basic skills in medical terminology. Credit
will not be granted for this course if credit has previously
been awarded for HLTH 1214. AAS: Life science (laboratory
science) elective. IAI: L1 904L Life science.
BIOL 1584 - Environmental Biology 3/2 (4)
Prerequisite: Appropriate assessment score or completion of
ENGL 1413 with a grade of C or better or consent of instructor.
The student will study interrelationships among organisms and
their environment, focusing on the position of humans in the
overall scheme. This study will include the roles of energy, soil,
water, and air in ecosystem function and how humans use and
abuse these resources. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective.
IAI: L1 905L Life science.
BIOL 1614 - General Zoology (Based on demand) 3/2 (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL 1514 or consent of instructor. The student
will make a comparative study of animal life from the protozoans
through the chordates. Morphological, physiological, ecological,
and evolutionary relationships will be stressed. Laboratory work
will focus on classification and dissection of representative species.
AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective.
BIOL 1714 - General Botany (Based on demand) 3/2 (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL 1514 or consent of instructor. Reproduction,
anatomy, physiology, growth, and classification of the various
plant groups will be studied. Part of the course will involve a study
of local flora. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective.
