Description:

Prereq. BI 251; CH 113 or CH 221 or CH 234 or CH 260 - The student examines the structure/function of cell components at a level to interpret cellular change. She considers the properties of membranes, cellular organelles, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, and the extracellular environment, and she uses this information to analyze how separate cell biology processes must relate to and cooperate with each other to achieve a normally functioning cell. Throughout the course, she gains insight into these relationships through the differences in cellular functions between a normal functioning cell and an abnormal cancer cell. In the laboratory, she performs basic quantitative and qualitative cellular biology laboratory techniques and applies the concepts in selecting the appropriate experimental technique to solve a cellular biology question.
