Cell Physiology
Prerequisites: BIOL 501.
Studies cell structure and function, metabolism, membranes and transport, and
cellular specializations.
Explanation of example:
BIOL 701 — course mnemonic (see glossary) and number.
(3) — number of credits that will be earned upon successful
completion of the course. Where courses are dually numbered (701, 702), the number of credits represents the number of credits for each section

semester) |
|
E |
offered when the fall semester occurs in an even year
(e.g., 2006-2007) |
|
O |
offered when the fall semester occurs in an odd year
(e.g., 2005-2006) |
|
SI |
offered upon sufficient student interest |
|
IR |
offered irregularly |
|
SS |
offered during summer session |
| J |
offered during January session |
Cell Physiology — course title
Prerequisites: BIOL 501. — Prerequisites are
courses or conditions that must be successfully completed prior to enrollment
in the course described. Prerequisites separated by a comma indicate a series
of prerequisites, all of which are required. Variations include BIOL 501
or 503 where either course, but not both, must be taken prior to enrollment
in the described course. An exception occurs when or precedes the last
entry in a series, in which case the commas indicate or throughout (e.g.,
BIOL 501, 503 or equivalent). Corequisite means that concurrent
enrollment in the course or courses designated and the course or courses described
is required.
