Topics include the chemical basis of life, cell biology, and heredity. Laboratory (three
hours per week) is correlated with lecture subject matter. Laboratory use fee required.
BIOL 1409 continues an introduction to principles of biology for non-science
majors. Plants and animals will be studied with emphasis on structure, function, diversity,
classification, and ecology. Laboratory (three hours per week) required. Laboratory use
fee required. Prerequisite: BIOL 1408 or approval of instructor.

* BIOL 1411-Botany
A study of the principles of plant life. Representatives of the major plant
divisions will be studied in the laboratory (three hours per week) with emphasis on seed
plant structures and their functions. Laboratory use fee required.

A study of the principles of animal life. Laboratory (three hours per week)
includes studies of representative examples of the animal phyla. Laboratory use fee
required.

* BIOL 1322-Nutrition
This course is designed primarily for students majoring in nursing, home
economics, and biology. Emphasis will be placed upon the metabolism, absorption,
distribution, and excretion of substrates, including vitamins and minerals. The course
will also promote health and disease prevention through nutrition and will investigate
selected disorders of the various body systems.
