This course covers the fundamental units of organisms known as cells
and the molecules that make up cells. The course focuses on the cell and
subcellular level. The course is divided into three sections of approximately
equal length. The first section includes cell structure and function.
This section culminates with an examination of metabolism (cellular respiration
and photosynthesis). The second section includes an examination of the
cell cycle and molecular genetics (replication, transcription, translation,
and gene regulation). The final section is cellular physiology and includes
hormonal regulation, immunology, neurobiology, and muscle physiology.
The laboratory for this course was designed to complement the lecture
and follows the same format. Some of the more popular labs include conducting
a DNA fingerprint analysis on your own DNA, a sea urchin development lab,
and a neurobiology lab. The lab assignments include two written laboratory
reports and an oral presentation on results from a human kidney physiology
lab.
