BIO 205 - Cell Biology

1 course unit

The structure and function of eukaryotic cells will be explored at the molecular, biochemical, and organelle levels. Topics include protein targeting, the cytoskeleton, motor proteins, cell signaling, membranes, energetics, the cell cycle, cancer, cell death and renewal. Students are introduced to the primary. Laboratory provides experience in data analysis, methods of microscopy, cell measurements, and cell culture. Self-designed investigations test hypotheses using fluorescent microscopy of cultured eukaryotic cells. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours per week.
