PRINCIPLES OF PHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY

BIOCORE 181

Orientation to biology research on campus, work in a research team to investigate a novel research question, and do biology research on a choice of topics: from ecology and physiology to cell biology. Emphasis is on critical thinking required in designing and conducting experiments, analyzing and interpreting data, and communicating findings orally and in writing.

BIOCORE 382

Writing-intensive with opportunities to make observations and generate and test questions. Includes ecology field trips and research projects that focus on genetics and evolution.

BIOCORE 384

Writing-intensive with opportunities to generate and test questions utilizing concepts and procedures of cell biology. Includes research projects in subcellular fractionation, protein structure and enzyme catalysis, molecular genetics of C.elegans worms, and signal transduction in yeast.

BOTANY 500

An in-depth look at plant growth, development, respiration, photosynthesis, mineral nutrition, and water relations. Experimental approaches will be used to demonstrate principles described.

BIOCORE 485

Study the physiology of and consider how plants and animals interact with their environments to survive, obtain nutrients, exchange gases, and reproduce, also how the complex systems of neural and endocrine regulation in animals and hormonal and environmental regulation in plants allow cells and organs to communicate.
