BI 382 Cell Biology
This upper-division course focuses on the cell as the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Topics include cellular organization, the structures and functions of cellular organelles and the cytoskeleton, energy transformations, communication between cells, and the cell cycle. Methods used to study cells and their component parts will be introduced through critical reading of peer-reviewed journal articles. Lectures will integrate material from genetics, chemistry, and introductory biology to understand cellular processes.
