Nutrition Lab
Nutrition Lab entails a series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in BIOL112W. Topics include those explored in BIOL112W through laboratory work involving healthy dietary and exercise habits, health issues related to diet and weight, the analysis of food choices, the evaluation of dietary supplements, and the evaluation of potential […]
Nutrition
Nutrition covers basic biochemistry and human physiology as they relate to nutritional concepts. Students learn how to manage their own diets and evaluate macro- and micronutrients found in foods. Students analyze nutritional information, differentiate between sound nutritional practices and deceptive ones, learn about the nutritional implications for major disease categories, learn how to maintain energy […]
Microbiology
Microbiology introduces the principles and practices of microbiology. Topics include the human immune system; the nature and behavior of microorganisms; the principles of growth and reproduction of microorganisms; the identification of microorganisms through staining, pure culture, biochemical and antigenic techniques; and the epidemiology of communicable human diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and helminths. […]
Human Biology
Human Biology introduces students to the structures and functions of the human body. Background information includes chemistry for human biology, cell structure and function, and human organization. Major topics include the digestive, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and reproductive systems, along with the senses and basic genetics. Laboratory activities are designed to enhance […]
