Faculty applications are Invited to teach the courses listed below:

BIOL 150 (3) Principles of Modern Blology

A broad introduction to biological science emphasizing the princi-
ples of cell biology, bioenergetics, physiology, genetics, evolution
and ecology. The major plant and animal groups are surveyed,
stressing diversity through adaption. Since many students taking
-this course do not proceed to other courses in Biology a particular
attempt is made to relate biological principles to matters of human
concern. The course, therefore, is designed for those with little
biological. background and those wishing to consolidate their
understanding of basic biological science.

Text: To be announced.

Mon., Tues., Thurs., 13 May to 20 August

Lectures: 8:30 to 10:30 am

Laboratories: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm

BIOL 200 (t%, formerly 3) Introduction to Cell Structure and
Function

 

Basic cellular and subcellular structure and function. Origin of
cells; evolution of eucaryocytes. Cellular homeostasis and control
mechanisms. Chromosome structure and function. Gene action.
Specialized cells and their function including cells of the immune
system.

Pre- or corequisites: Chemistry 230 or 233, or 231/232 of 231/235
Prerequisite: Biochemistry 200

Mon., Wed., Fri., 13 May to 20 August

Lectures: 1:30 to 2:30 pm

Laboratories: Wed. 2:30 to 5:30 pm

BIOL 203 (1'2) Algae and Fung!

The biology of the algae and the fungi, including discussions of
their origins and evolution, ecology, physiology and use by man.
Laboratories will include examination of the cytology and the
morphology of marine and freshwater algae, and isolation, pure
culture, and identification of fungi. Not open to students with
ciedit for Botany 205.

BIOL 204 (1'4) Metaphyta

Survey of the bryophytes and vascular plants. Cell structure and
tissues of vascular plants will be discussed as they relate to plant
function. The origin and evolution of plant structures and groups
making up the metaphyta will be emphasized. Not open to stu-
dents with credit for Botany 205.

Text: Raven, Evert and Curtis, Biology of Plants
Mon., Wed. and Fri., 3 July to 20 August
Lectures: 8:30 to 10:30 am

Laboratories: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm

BIOL 207 (1'%) Chordate Zoology

A survey of chordate diversity in an evolutionary perspective.
Emphasis is on the comparative morphology of organ systems.
Laboratory work involves dissections of representative speci-
mens, and a term report is required.

Not open to students with credit for Zoology 202
Text: To be announced

Mon., Wed. and Fri., 13 May to 27 June
Lectures: 8:30 to 10:30 am

Laboratories: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm

BIOL 329 (1%) Biology of the Vertebrates

An introduction to the systematics, zoogeography, and ecology of
vertebrates, with particular emphasis on the vertebrates of British
Columbia. Laboratories will stress vertebrate systematics, identifi-
cation of native species, and techniques of specimen collection
and preparation; a field trip must also be completed. Field trips will
be planned when possible.
