BI 245 - Cellular Biology

Credits: 4

Cell biology is the study of the function, physiology, and structure and function of the eukaryotic cell at the molecular, whole cell, and organismal level. It includes the study of cellular metabolism, cell signaling, and organelles. In this course we will examine the basic structures of the cell and their functions, the basic biochemistry of the cell, how signals allow communication both within a cell and between cells, and the role of cells in the structure and function of major tissues.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisites: CH 130, CH 131, and CH 230.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following: 

  • The structure and biology of the cell and the organelles it contains.
  • The major groups of macromolecules and their functions within organisms.
  • The expression of the genome, from gene to protein.
  • The role of cell signaling within the cell and between cells in multicellular organisms.
  • Energy extraction and transport of molecules throughout cells and tissues.
  • General laboratory skills in cell biology, including recombinant biotechnology.
