BIO 2474 credits
Environmental Animal Physiology
Session A-6 wk (May 19-June 27)
MTWR 9 a.m.11:15 a.m.; Meliora 221
CRN 10302; A. Olek
This course is designed for sophomore biology majors who want to deepen their understanding of animal function by examining how animals cope with environmental challenges. This includes cellular and physiological adaptations to extremes of temperature, salinity, and altitude. This course can be used to satisfy an upper level elective/diversity requirement in all UPBM tracks and as a "group" A requirement in the BA track. Prerequisites: One year of introductory biology and chemistry (e.g., BIO 110 & BIO 111, CHM 131 & CHM 132). Genetics is recommended (e.g. BIO 198).
BIO 250/BCH 250/CHM 2504 credits
Introduction to Biochemistry
Session A-6wk (May 19June 27)
MTWR 9 a.m.11:15 a.m.; Dewey 2-110D
CRN 10317, BIO 250
CRN 18822, BCH 250
CRN 18835, CHM 250; T. Platt, E. Barber
Biochemistry 250 will cover fundamental aspects of biochemistry, including bioenergetics, protein structure, kinetic analysis of enzyme action, and general intermediary metabolism. The text will be the NEW 5th edition of Lehninger's "Principles of Biochemistry" (2008) by Nelson and Cox, with its accompanying Web site, which includes access to CHIME tutorials that explore structure—function relationships in biomolecules. Prerequisites: Bio 110 or BIO 112, plus CHM 203 and 204 (may be taken concurrently) or the permission of the instructor. This course is not open to Freshmen.
