10 courses with the subject BIO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BIO 101General Biology I4
(s) Focuses on biological processes with a chemical foundation, including macromolecules, cellular structure, metabolism, and genetics in an evolutionary context. Explores the core concepts of evolution; structure and function; information flow, storage and exchange; pathways and transformations of energy and matter; and systems biology. Emphasizes the process of science, interdisciplinary approach, and relevance of biology to society. Part I of a two-course sequence. Assignments require college-level reading fluency, coherent written communication, and basic mathematical skills. Credit toward graduation cannot be awarded for both BIO 101 and BIO 106. This is a Passport Transfer course. Lecture 3 hours. Recitation and laboratory 3 hours. Total 6 hours per week.
BIO 101 or Departmental Permission. Focuses on biological processes with a chemical foundation, including macromolecules, cellular structure, metabolism, and genetics in an evolutionary context. Explores the core concepts of evolution; structure and function; information flow, storage and exchange; pathways and transformations of energy and matter; and systems biology. Emphasizes the process of science, interdisciplinary approach, and relevance of biology to society. Part II of a two-course sequence. Lecture 3 hours. Recitation and laboratory 3 hours. Total 6 hours per week.
BIO 141 with a grade of C or better. Nursing students: This course must have been completed within 10 years prior to acceptance to the nursing program. Continues study of anatomy and physiology including endocrine system, blood and cardiovascular system, lymphatic system and immunity, respiratory system, urinary system, fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, digestive system and nutrient metabolism, reproductive system, and prenatal development. Part II of II. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 3 hours. Total 6 hours per week.
BIO 145Basic Human Anatomy and Physiology4
(s) Surveys human anatomy and physiology. Covers basic chemical concepts, cellular physiology, anatomy, and physiology of human organ systems. Assignments require college-level reading fluency, coherent written communication, and basic mathematical skills. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 3 hours. Total 6 hours per week.
BIO 101 or equivalent and BIO 150 or equivalent. Provides an introduction to immune organs and tissues as well as a more in-depth analysis of immune function at the cellular and molecular level. Combines concepts of cell biology, genetics, developmental biology and biochemistry. Applies learned material to clinical applications and human health, including how the immune system can be manipulated and how failures of the immune response may lead to human disease. Lecture 3 hours per week.
BIO 101 or instructor permission Explores the growing field of biotechnology ranging from basic cellular and molecular biology concepts to both basic and advanced laboratory techniques. Emphasizes the application of biotechnology to medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and forensics. Includes discussion of the business, regulatory/legal, ethical, and societal issues of this topic as well as the growing field of bioinformatics. Lecture 3 hours per week.
BIO 285Biological Problems in Contemporary Society3
(s) Dual Enrollment course only. Discusses major biological problems facing society which may include environmental and health concerns such as pollution, bioengineering, drug abuse, conservation, famine and others. Lecture 3 hours per week.
