Description:

Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences A comprehensive comparison of the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their components are examined in detail at the cellular, subcellular and molecular levels. The molecular mechanisms of cell growth and survival, metabolism and cell-cell interactions are presented in both the normal state (development, species preservation) and in the abnormal state (cancer, genetic diseases). The fundamentals of cellular chemistry and the chemical properties of biologically important macromolecules are emphasized. Laboratory experiments are designed to introduce the current concepts and techniques in molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology as a means to study cellular structure and function. Prerequisite: BIO111-112 or BIO205-206, or BIO110. 4 credits.
