BIOL 297 - Topics in Biology


Credits: 3 or 4 in fall or winter; 4 in spring
Planned Offering: Fall, Winter, Spring



Prerequisites vary with topic. Topics vary with instructor and term.

Spring 2015 topic:

BIOL 297-01: Topics in Biology: The Smell of Sex (4). The use of pheromones to coordinate reproduction is a widespread biological phenomenon in animals. This course explores the fundamental bases of pheromone biology, from pheromone synthesis pathways and genetics to the evolution of mate searching behaviors and neural networks. Students create independent experiment-based projects involving field and laboratory analyses of pheromone-driven behaviors. Parker. Spring 2015

Winter 2015 topic:

BIOL 297-01: Biochemistry of the Cell (3): Prerequisites: BIOL 111/113 and CHEM 241 or 241S; and instructor consent required. This is a non-lab equivalent of BIOL 215 and not open to students with credit for BIOL 215 or CHEM 341 (Biochemistry). A study of the molecular basis of cell structure and function. Topics include biomolecular structure and chemistry, enzyme kinetics and inhibition, bioenergetics, intermediary metabolism and its regulation, membrane structure and transport, membrane receptors and signal transduction, and the endomembrane system.
