This course deals with physiological and anatomical adaptations of select invertebrate animals with an emphasis on principles of functional morphology. Life history, feeding and nutrition, respiration, excretion, reproduction, and development will be studied. This course includes a required overnight, weekend field trip. BIO 220 A study of the relationship of plant structure and function. Emphasis is placed on modern interpretation of anatomical adaptations for nutrient and energy acquisition and transport of assimilated material.
Laboratories are an integral part of the course.
This course looks at changes in anatomy and function during the plant life cycle. In lecture and laboratory, we will look at how plants perceive the environment. We will follow how they respond anatomically and physiologically to environmental signals and stresses. BIO 305 A continuation of the comparative anatomy and physiology of the vertebrates. Both classical and modern experimental approaches using several model species will be described.
