BIOL 261 - Biological Concepts III- Principles of Cellular And Molecular Biology

Institution:

Widener University-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course is intended for biology majors and premedical students. The course, the third in the core curriculum, focuses on cellular and intracellular processes amongst all living organisms. Students examine cell physiology of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Topics include energy metabolism, such as fermentation, respiration and photosynthesis, and the core metabolic pathways, such as the biosyntheses of amino acids and nucleotide precursors. Special attention is paid to the flow of information from DNAto protein (replication, transcription and translation) and the regulation of gene expression. The course also connects the ecological and physiological phenomena studied in the first two courses of the core to the fundamental intracellular processes that determine organismal performance. Prerequisite: BIOL 161, 162, and CHEM 102 or 146 or permission of instructor. 3 hours lecture. 3 hours laboratory. 1 hour discussion. 4 semester hours
