  • BIOL 230: Taxonomy of Vascular Plants

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course covers the distinguishing features and economic importance of the principle groups of vascular plants. It also covers terminology associated with systematic botany, the historical development of systematic botany including different systems of plant classification, and provides students with practical experience in the identification of selected vascular plants of the region. Each student is required to preserve, mount, and identify a collection of plants. Some of the required field trips may require additional out-of-class time. A one day or overnight weekend field trip may be required in this class.

  • BIOL 235: General Physiology

    4.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course provides an integrated study of struch1re and function within the Animal Kingdom. Comparisons will examine differences in structure and regulation with consideration for cellular and molecular physiology, but with an emphasis on the integration of physiological systems at the level of tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Major body systems including muscular, nervous, endocrine, urinary, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive will be examined under normal conditions, and in response to stressors and disease to understand function and regulation in the pursuit of homeostasis.

  • BIOL 244: Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course provides an introduction to important general concepts in ecology and to the empirical methods ecologists use to study the interactions between organisms and both living and non-living components of the environment. This course involves evaluating ecological processes that influence individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems. Ecological concepts will be introduced primarily through study of organisms living in terrestrial and freshwater environments. The laboratory portion of the course will introduce students to collection and analysis of quantitative data obtained through empirical methods. A one day or overnight weekend field trip may be required in this class.

  • BIOL 246: Diet and Disease

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    Diet and human health are intricately linked. This course introduces students to the study of nutrition and how poor diets can lead to common diseases and disorders, focusing on those most prevalent in the United States. Topics include the structure and function of the six essential nutrients; the digestion, absorption, and metabolic pathways of the energy-providing nutrients; nutrient food sources and dietary guidelines; the relationship between diet and human health; and dietary needs throughout the lifespan. Students will also utilize available tools to analyze their own dietary intake.

  • BIOL 252: Cellular Physiology and Metabolism

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course examines how living things function at the cellular and molecular level, particularly how organisms obtain and utilize energy to sustain themselves. Emphasis will be placed on the structure and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and nitrogen-containing biomolecules, such as proteins, amino acids, nucleic acids and nucleotides. Energy transducing cellular processes, such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, electron transport system, oxidative phosphorylation, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway, will be covered in detail. The interrelationships of the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids, and other nitrogen-containing biomolecules will be emphasized.
