BIO251 Cellular Biology

Advanced exploration of the morphology, physiology and biochemical aspects of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Discussion includes organelle structure and function, cell membranes, the cytoskeleton, extracellular matrices, enzymes, metabolic pathways, cell division, gene expression, cell movement, and inter- and intra- cell signaling. Fundamental cell biology techniques are incorporated into this course. Students will also use problem-based laboratory examples to learn the required calculations and practical laboratory practices required for bench laboratory research. This course is intended for the biological science major. Prerequisite: BIO 111 and 113. Pre-corequisite: CHEM 151 and CHEM 153. Lecture: 3 hours; Lab 3 hours.
