Description:

An understanding of the concepts and processes of cell biology is fundamental to all other disciplines in biological sciences. This course introduces cellular structure and the function of these structures in relation to the physiology of the organism. Lectures introduce cell ultrastructure and the methods of studying it, membrane structure and function, protein structure and function, and the fundamentals of primary metabolism and information storage/transfer (i.e., replication, transcription and translation of genetic material). The material is relevant to animal, plant and microbial organisms. The lab consists of a series of protocols to demonstrate some fundamental methodologies in cell biology and introduces the process of scientific research. Lectures and one laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 101,102. Recommended: Chemistry 103,104. Counts toward the biochemistry and neuroscience (cellular track) majors.
