BIOL 101(F) The Cell

This course provides an introduction to the cellular aspects of modern biology. It explains the development of cell structure and function as a consequence of evolutionary processes, and it stresses the dynamic properties of living systems. Topics considered include biological molecules and enzyme action, membrane structure and function, energy exchange and design of metabolic systems, expression of genetic information, and cell signalling. In addition to textbook assignments, articles from the recent biological literature will be assigned and discussed. Evaluation will be based on two hour tests, a final exam, and weekly lab reports.
Lectures, discussions, and laboratory: six hours a week. No prerequisites.
