Biology - BIOL

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.

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.

A lecture and laboratory course emphasizing the morphology and physiology of archaea, bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, helminthes, and viruses; principles of infectious disease and host immune response; and skills in aseptic procedured, isolation and identification. Satisfies the general education requirements for the AS Nursing degree and is recommended for all allied health students.

This course introduces students to the natural history of the Great Basin desert with a focus on biodiversity and adaptations, ecology and climate, geography and geology, natural resources, human cultures and impacts, management, and conservation. Identification of common species inhabiting the Great Basin desert will be covered. An emphasis will be placed on discourse and course materials that integrate concepts covered in pre-requisite courses, including discussions and a capstone project. The lab portion of this course is field-oriented and culminates in a multi-day field trip.
