BI 0401 |
Biology |
3 Credit Hours |
|
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
||
|
This course presents a
study of the basic concepts of living matter with emphasis on cells, tissue,
and organism structure and function.
An evolutionary approach with emphasis on classification, inheritance,
and the ecology of plants and animals is used. This course is intended for students whose
concentration is other than biology, with emphasis on knowledge of the
scientific method of the chemical component of living organism and the
fundamental relationship between animals and plants. |

|
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
||
|
A study of plant growth, physiology,
morphology, reproduction, taxonomy, and evolution. Laboratory exercises accompany lectures. |

Microbiology |
5 Credit Hours |
|
|
Recommended
as a Prerequisite: |
BI 0401 Biology (3 credit hour) or BI 0431
Biology (5 credit hour) |
||
|
This course presents a
study of microorganisms and their morphological, physiological, and
biochemical characteristic response to the environment as well as their
influence on the surroundings. Their
relationship to the anatomy and physiology of the human body, aspects of
parasitism, infection state, body defenses, and methods of control and
prevention of infections will also be studied. Laboratory experiments will be conducted
relating to bacterial growth, isolation and pure culture techniques as well
as physiological characteristics of different microorganisms. |

Anatomy and Physiology |
5 Credit Hours |
|
|
Recommended
as a Prerequisite: |
BI 0401 Biology (3 credit hour) or BI 0431
Biology (5 credit hour) |
||
|
Anatomy and Physiology is
the study of the structure and function of different systems of the human
body. The course covers functional
anatomy with emphasis on basic principles and physiological activities of different
systems of the body. The laboratory is
designed to provide hands-on study of the organisms/organ systems studied in
the lecture portion of the course.
This course meets the requirements of the students interested in
nursing, respiratory therapy, radiography, physical education, biology, and
other allied health courses. |

Biology |
5 Credit Hours |
|
|
Prerequisite: |
None |
||
|
This course presents a study
of the basic concepts of living organisms using an evolutionary approach with
emphasis on classification, inheritance, and the ecology of plants and
animals. This course is intended for
students whose concentration is biology and related disciplines with emphasis
on knowledge of the scientific method and the chemical components and
functions of cells, and tissues and organisms
structure and function. Laboratory exercises are designed to emphasize and support the
course concepts and stresses the scientific method of investigation. |
