BIOL 30095 - Lecture
Overview
This course is a 3-hour lecture, 6-hour laboratory once-a-week meeting that will discuss
understanding of cellular structures and function in molecular level. This course is concerned with
the chemistry of the living cell and its progression from molecules to multicellular organisms;
evolution of the cell; principles of major experimental methods for investigating cells; transmission
of genetic information and the internal organization of the cell.
On completion of this course, the student is expected to present the following learning outcomes:
• Explain the concept, scope and importance of cell biology
• Compare the cell’s morphology in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms
• Trace the genetic lineage or phylogenetic history of the organisms
• Describe briefly the different cellular components (structure, function, molecular diversity)
• Determine the factors that can affect cellular components, metabolic activities, and
molecular behavior
• Familiarize some common methods and techniques in molecular biology
In this module, topics are organized in a weekly time frame that includes overviews, readings,
lectures, discussions, and other relevant activities. At the end of each module, the student will
answer the assessment to check the understanding of the student.
