FOUNDATIONS OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES I
BIO 121
First semester of a two semester course designed for majors in biological sciences. Topics include: biological chemistry, cell structure and function, cellular metabolism (enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis), information flow (DNA, RNA, protein), principles of genetics, and survey of viruses, prokaryotes, and protists.
NATURAL HISTORY OF WISCONSIN
BIO 193
Natural History of Wisconsin is an introductory course intended for those wanting to learn more about Wisconsin's diverse plant and animal life. The main focus of this course is Wisconsin's diversity of plants and animals and the ecosystems in which they live. In addition, it may cover basic concepts of field ecology, behavior, conservation, identification of select organisms, and a review of the historical contributions to Wisconsin natural history. This course is designed to increase the awareness and appreciation of Wisconsin's biological diversity at a time when the general public is increasingly disconnected from natural environments. May include field trips.
GENERAL SURVEY OF MICROBIOLOGY
BIO 251
Survey of micro-organisms and their activities: emphasis on structure, taxonomy, function, ecology, nutrition, physiology, pathology, and genetics. Survey of applied microbiology: agricultural, medical, industrial, environment and food. The lab is an introduction to standard techniques and procedures in general microbiology. Lecture, lab, and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
BIO 285
An examination of the structure and function of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels of organization. The integration of these levels of organization within the human organism is emphasized. This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence. Lecture, lab, and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips.
