BIO 208: Microbiology

3 credits

Examine the nature of bacterial infections and diseases they cause. Study cell regulation, the chemistry of metabolic processes in bacteria, and the mechanisms of antimicrobial drugs. Lecture and laboratory. (Distribution Reqs:Natural Sciences)

Learning Goals

COURSE LEARNING GOALS:The study of microbiology is aimed at understanding the fundamental role that microorganisms play in human life. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:1. Outline the function and composition of cells, by recognizing and drawing key structural components2. List the major macromolecules by defining their units and specific terminology3. Demonstrate knowledge of basic physical and chemical characteristics among bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses by comparing and contrasting them4. Identify shapes and names of bacteria, by utilizing and understanding various microscopic staining techniques5. Describe the major metabolic pathways in prokaryotes by stating molecules and energy involved in reactions, and site where they occur6. Explain main principles of how medications work to combat infection7. Recite specific examples of bacteria and their role in pathogenesis, by recognizing the diseases they cause
