Cell Biology and Cellular Processes
Description
Cell Biology and Cellular Processes encompasses the study of cell structure, cellular functions including metabolism and energy production, and cellular division enabling growth and reproduction. The subject covers prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell organization, organelle functions, photosynthesis and cellular respiration as energy pathways, protein synthesis as the basis of cellular function, and cell division through mitosis and meiosis.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this subject, learners will be able to understand cell structure and organization. They will identify organelle functions. Learners will understand energy production pathways. They will analyze protein synthesis mechanisms. They will evaluate cell division processes. Finally, learners will synthesize information to understand how cellular processes enable life.
