Eukaryotic Cell Biology.

Catalog description

This course is a survey of the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. Students explore the existence of life at the cellular and molecular level by focusing on many aspects of cellular biology; including protein synthesis and function, the structural and functional role of the cell membrane, cellular organelles, the organization of cells into tissues, signal transduction and cell-to-cell communication, experimental applications in cell biology, and the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the disease phenotype. Prerequisites: BIOB 160 /161 Principles of Living Systems Lecture and Lab; BIOB 170 /171 Organismal Diversity & Evolution Lecture and Lab; CHMY 141 /142 College Chemistry I Lecture and Lab.
