BIOL 204 - Cell Biology

The cell as a functional unit is discussed from the molecular level to the whole cell. Included are introductions to the biochemistry and metabolic roles of some of the molecules and macromolecules that are found in cells. Also discussed are the evolution, structure and function of the various subcellular organelles and the cytoskeleton. Emphasis is placed on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind cell physiology and the experimental methods used to determine those mechanisms. (This course was formerly Biol 137. Any students who already took Biol 137 should not retake this class because they will not receive credit for it).

Prerequisites: BIOL 101 and BIOL 102.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Offered every year.
