Environmental
Biochemistry
and
Toxicology
(3+0)
The
thrust
of
the
course
is
toward
environmental
biochemistry
where
the
environment
is
broadly
defined
to
include
the
home,
the
workplace
and
lifestyle,
as
well
as
the
great
out-of-doors.
A
major
focus
will
be
on
those
general
properties
and
principles
which
determine
how
poisonous
(toxic)
various
chemicals
are.
Major
natural
and
synthetic
chemicals
in
the
environment
of
developed
and
developing
countries
will
be
reviewed.
(Prerequisite:
CHEM
451
or
equivalent
biology
course.)
CHEM
660
(3
Credits)
Spring
Chemical
Oceanography
(3+0)
(Cross-listed
with
MSL
660)
An
integrated
study
of
the
chemical,
biological,
and
physical
processes
that
determine
the
distribution
of
chemical
variables
in
the
sea.
The
distribution
of
stable
and
radioisotopes
are
used
to
follow
complex
chemical
cycles,
with
particular
emphasis
on
the
cycles
of
nutrient
elements.
The
chemistry
of
carbon
is
considered
in
detail.
The
implications
of
the
recently
explored
mid-ocean
ridge
vent
system
to
ocean
chemistry
are
examined.
(Prerequisites:
Graduate
standing
or
permission
of
instructor.)
CHEM

Credits)
Spring
Cell
Biology
(3+3)
(Stacked
with
BIOL
461
and
CHEM
461
and
cross-listed
with
BIOL
661)
Principles
of
structure
and
function
of
eucaryotic
cells.
Molecular
and
cellular
aspects
of
internal
organization
of
cells
and
their
integration
in
a
multicellular
community
including
cytoskeleton,
energetics,
vesicular
traffic,
signaling,
cell
division
cycle,
DNA
replication
and
transcription,
protein
translation,
adhesion,
cancer
and
cell
death.
Laboratory
involves
team-based
research
to
address
fundamental
aspects
of
cell
biology.
(Prerequisites:
BIOL
362
or
concurrent
enrollment,
CHEM
321
or
concurrent
enrollment,
or
permission
of
instructor.)
CHEM
673
(3
Credits)
Alternate
Spring
Microbial
Biochemistry
and
Bioenergetics
(3+0)
(Cross-listed
with
MSL
673)
Course
seeks
to
develop
a
working
knowledge
of
energy
transduction
in
biological
systems.
Particular
emphasis
will
be
on
the
molecular
mechanisms
involved
in
the
generation
of
transmembrane
potentials
and
solute
flux
and
how
microorganisms
use
these
processes
to
control
their
environment.
