Biology - BIOL

This course will provide a framework for understanding the fundamental, biological processes that are involved in human behavior and cognition. Topics surveyed will introduce basic principles of neuroscience, including: the divisions of the human nervous system, the cells of the nervous system and neural function. In addition, students will engage in discussion of how brain function supports higher-order cognitive processes and how behavior and cognition are impacted by neurological diseases. Same as PSY 105.

An introductory course to the roles and responsibilities of a career in wildlife technology including the ethical and professional responsibilities. Emphasis will be made in the exploration of wildlife careers, methods of applying for and obtaining jobs, research, volunteer, and professional training opportunities. The importance of data collection and reporting at the technician level will be underscored.

An introductory course emphasizing the processes of science and the fundamentals of biology. Includes a basic introduction to molecules, cells and metabolism, the flow of genetic information, evolutionary theory, and ecological processes. Connects life science concepts to the understanding of everyday concerns such as human health. Designed for the non-science major and meets UNR core curriculum science requirement; cannot be used for credit toward biology major. Three lecture hours per week and four laboratory experiences throughout the semester.

An introductory cell and molecular biology course covering basics of inorganic chemistry, water, pH, biological macromolecules, cell structure, membrane physiology, cell signaling, metabolism, cell division, heredity, gene expression, and gene regulation. Both BIOL 190A & BIOL 190L are prerequisites for the following biology courses: BIOL 201, and BIOL 251. BIOL 190L can be taken as a pre or co-requisite for BIOL 223. BIOL 190A is a prerequisite for BIOL 223.

A survey of marine environments and their biotic communities with an emphasis on the natural history of marine organisms. This course is designed for non-science majors or anyone with a general interest in marine biology. Includes hands-on activities to be completed at home and virtual laboratory experiences online, including several virtual dissections. Satisfies the general education requirement in natural sciences and is transferable to UNLV as a general education course in the natural sciences.
