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.

Genetic code -Differentiate among the three kinds of RNA in terms of structure and function -Define the kind of code present in the nucleotide sequence of DNA Building proteins -Describe the process, machinery (proteins and enzymes) and products of transcription and translation -Demonstrate how specific amino acids are added to the proper tRNAs -Describe the steps involved in protein synthesis Mutations -Analyze the effect of DNA mutations on the amino acid sequence of proteins

Cell Signaling -Discuss the differences between local signaling and long-distance cellular communication -Describe the three stages of cell signaling. Receptor Proteins -Know what receptor proteins are, where they are located, and what they do -Know the three cell surface receptor superfamilies, the basic structures of each and how each functions to convert an extracellular signal to an internal one. -Differentiate between intracellular receptors and cell surface receptors in terms of func...

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...
