| CIPCode |
| Concepts and activities in natural sciences for elementary curriculum with emphasis on biology: structures and systems, energy |
| transformations, changes over time, interactions and scientific worldview. Must be taken concurrently with a laboratory section. This |
| course is designed for elementary education majors transferring to WTA&M University. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural |
| Sciences); Lecture-2; Lab-3; Credits-3. |

| A study of the basic principles of nutrition in health and disease. The modern concept of an adequate diet as it pertains to the |
| nutritional needs of the individual. *TRAN Lecture-3; Lab-0; Credits-3 |
| CIPCode |
| An introductory survey of contemporary biological concepts. Topics emphasized will include the chemical basis of life, structure and |
| function of cells, energy transformations, and molecular biology and genetics. No prerequisite. Must be taken concurrently with a |
| laboratory section. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| An introductory survey of contemporary biological concepts. Emphasis will be placed on topics that include evolution, biological |
| diversity, ecology, and comparative structure and function of organism. No prerequisite. Must be taken concurrently with a |
| laboratory section. *TRAN; Core Curriculum (Natural Sciences); Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| Principles studied include structure and function of plant cells, tissues, and organs. An evolutionary survey and life history of major |
| algae and plant phyla is included along with a study of the interactions of plants with the environment and humans. No prerequisite. |
| Must be taken concurrently with a laboratory section. *TRAN; Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| Principles studied include classification, taxonomy, life histories, and ecology, as they relate to animal form, function, diversity, |
| behavior, and evolution. Laboratory emphasis is on the dissection and the study of zoological specimens from the major phyla. No |
| prerequisite. Must be taken concurrently with a laboratory section. *TRAN; Lecture-3; Lab-3; Credits-4. |
| CIPCode |
| A course designed for pre-med, nurses, physical education majors and for those who would prepare to become medical or clinical |
| laboratory technologists. A general plan of vertebrate structure, cavities and regions of the human body will be made followed by |
| the study of the systems of the human body. Must be taken concurrently with a laboratory section. Prerequisite: Passage or |

| Microbiology 2421 is designed for biology major students working toward bachelor degree requirements. Emphasis is placed upon |
| principles of asepsis, disinfection, sterilization, and isolation and culturing techniques used in microbe identification. Study of the |
| morphology, physiology, and taxonomy of representative groups of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms. Pure cultures |
| of microorganisms grown on selected media are used in learning laboratory techniques. Includes a brief preview of food microbes, |
| public health, and immunology. Must be taken concurrently with a laboratory section. Prerequisite:Passage of or exemption from |
| the reading section of a TSI approved test or completion of ENGL 0316 with a grade of C or higher. *TRAN; Core Curriculum |
