Course
description: Biology
3810/ 7810 is a laboratory course designed to introduce the student to
molecular and cellular techniques through the study of cellular molecules and
processes. In this course, the student
will learn proper procedures for making solutions, determining the pH of a
solution, utilizing spectrophotometric techniques, observing microscopic
specimens, studying properties of catalysts, isolating organelles, isolating
and visualizing proteins, and isolating and manipulating DNA. Student will be using writing as a tool for
communication and learning how to write effectively for biology.
