Introduction to structure and functions of cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the human body. Topics related to physical fitness, nutrition, health, and disease. Not intended for science majors.
Prerequisite: ENG 21 and ENG 22 with a grade of C or better or equivalent.
Biology 101: Biology for Non-Majors
A one semester course designed to provide students not majoring in any of the natural sciences with an understanding of the major concepts in the following biological disciplines: cell structure and function, genetics, evolutionary theory, plant and animal structure and function, ecology and animal behavior. Additionally, provides non-science majors with an understanding of the scientific approach to problem solving and the increasing role biology has in daily life. Lab attendance is required. (Formerly Science 121.)
Prerequisite: ENG 21 and ENG 22 with a grade of C or better or equivalent and MATH 25 with a grade of C or better or equivalent.
Biology 124: Environment and Ecology
Working from a general background in biology, the course examines the many interrelationships among organisms and their environment with an emphasis on the impact which our species has had (and may yet have) on the total planet. Problems of pollution, overpopulation, depletion of resources, etc. are considered. Causes of ecological problems and alternatives to current actions by people are suggested and evaluated, stressing the ecological action of the individual. Emphasis is placed on problems relating to island ecology and Hawaii in particular. (Formerly Science 124.)
Prerequisite: ENG 21 and ENG 22 with a grade of C or better or equivalent.
Biology 124L: Environment and Ecology Lab
Laboratory to accompany BIOL 124. (Formerly part of Science 124.)
Prerequisite: BIOL 124 (or concurrent).
Biology 171: Introduction to Biology I
Introductory biology for all life science majors. Cell structure and chemistry, growth, reproduction, genetics, evolution, viruses, bacteria, and simple eukaryotes.
Prerequisites: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in the following courses or their equivalents: CHEM 161, ENG 100, and MATH 135 or consent. Co-requisite: BIOL 171L.
Biology 171L: Introduction to Biology I Lab
Laboratory to accompany BIOL 171.
Prerequisite: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in the following courses or their equivalents: CHEM 161, ENG 100, and MATH 135 or consent. Co-requisite: BIOL 171.
Biology 172: Introduction to Biology II
Continuation of BIOL 171. Anatomy, physiology, and systematics of plants and animals; behavior; ecosystems, populations, and communities.
Prerequisite: BIOL 171 and BIOL 171L with a grade of C or better or equivalent. Co-requisite: BIOL 172L.
Biology 172L: Introduction to Biology II Lab
Laboratory to accompany BIOL 172.
Prerequisite: BIOL 171 and BIOL 171L with a grade of C or better or equivalent. Co-requisite: BIOL 172.
Biology 200: Coral Reefs
Introduction to the biology, ecology and geology of corals reefs. Topics
include the physical and chemical properties of coral reef habitats, reef
geology, the physiology, anatomy, ecology and evolution of coral reef
organisms, and the management of human impacts on coral reefs. Emphasis
will be on Hawaii's coral reefs, but comparisons will be made among reefs
from other areas. Course includes one three hour laboratory per week.
Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher in English 21,or 22.
