Cellular biology is the study of the structure, function, and organization of cells, which are the basic building blocks of all living organisms. Students will learn about the fundamental principles of cellular biology, including cell structure, organelles, membrane transport, cell signaling, and cellular metabolism.

Respiration basics - Discuss the significance of respiration process in the cell - List the major stages of respiration process Glycolysis - Describe the major molecules involved in process of glycolysis as well as location of glycolysis in the cell - Discuss the significance of pyruvate in the cell The citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle) - List major molecules involved in Citric Acid Cycle as well as location of the cycle in the cell Oxidative Phosphorylation - Distinguis...
