BIOL 205/205L Cell Biology

This course will provide students with an understanding of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. Students will gain experience with techniques relevant to cell biology in the laboratory setting. Topics will include cell function, structure, environmental interaction, life cycle, and differentiation, with an emphasis on eukaryotic cells. This course is designed for biology majors, biochemistry majors, laboratory science majors, and pre-professional and pre-allied health science students.
