BIO 216 - Cell Biology


Credits: 3
3 Lecture Hours

Prerequisites: BIO 151  

 
Description
This is a course which emphasizes the relationships between the molecular structure of organisms and their functions. Regulation of cell processes in response to changes in both the intra and extra cellular environment are discussed.


Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  1. Characterize the structure and properties of the four key classes of cellular macromolecules.
  2. Summarize the structure and function of the cell and organelles.
  3. Relate cell structure to specific cellular disease.
  4. Describe cell membrane structure and its role in cell transport.
  5. Summarize the cell energy metabolic pathways.
  6. Describe signal transduction mechanisms.
  7. Describe enzyme structure and function and its relationship to bioenergetics.
  8. Explain cell movement with relationship to both extracellular and intracellular compartments.
