BIO201: Introductory Biology-Cells

 

Course Description: Cell structure and function with emphasis on molecular aspects. Prerequisites: ENGL 110 and CHEM 150 or equivalent.

 

Course Goals:

In this course we will examine many different areas of cellular biology. Upon completion of this course, you are expected to be able to:

 

•Define and discuss the chemistry essential to cellular organization and function including, atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular organization.

•Define the main categories of macromolecules found within cells, and explain the significance of each to cellular function.

•Identify and describe membrane and organelle structure and function.

•Describe essential cellular physiological processes including, bioenergetics, enzyme kinetics, cell division, respiration and photosynthesis.

•Describe all aspects of genetics including, the fundamentals of transmission of traits, DNA replication, transcription and translation.
