| Welcome to the field of biology that aims to understand the structure and function of the fundamantal unit of life - the cell. In this course, our study of cells will consider five questions: (1) What are cells and why are they so improbable? (2) How do our cells get energy from the food we eat? (3) What is the ultimate source of most cellular energy? (4) What is the technology and what are the benefits and risks associated with genetically modified food? (5) How does HIV hijack the immune system and cause AIDS? In considering the answers to these questions we will integrate microscopic, biochemical, genetic, and molecular approaches to the study of cells. In the lab, your studies of cell biology will entail the independent design and analysis of enzyme function, flagellar growth, and molecular biotechnology. | |||||||||||||||||||||
