Advanced study of cellular organisation and interactions with emphasis on the relationships between molecular structure and organelle and cell function.
This course aims to provide an understanding of the relationships between molecular structureand organelle and cell function. Since cellular activity underlies the functioning of allbiological organisms, the course will be of interest not only to students with leanings towardsphysiology, biochemistry, genetics or medicine, but to all biologists. The emphasis is onstructure and function rather than biochemistry per se although the basic biochemistry coveredin BIOL111 is assumed.This course naturally complements the biochemistry taught in BCHM201, 202, 301 and 302,the molecular biology and genetics taught in BIOL231, 232 and 330, and the physiologytaught in BIOL250, 251, 252, 353 and 354. For those students planning to go on to Honoursor Masters level, BIOL351 will be a desirable (and in some cases essential) background foradvanced courses in cell biology, biochemistry, genetics and physiology.
BIOL 351 aims to provide an understanding of the functioning of, and relationships between, cells, as well as an understanding of molecular structure and biochemical interactions between molecules within cells.
