Course Objective

The aim of this course is to examine all components of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in animals. Plasma membrane structure and function of the nucleus, the protein sorting and transport, energy conversion, is to examine the cell cycle and apoptosis issues.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To understand all components of the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
2   To understand the mechanisms of transport proteins and protein classification.
3   To understand the mechanisms of interaction and communication with the cell's environment.
4   To understand the intracellular energy transformation and cell cycle.
5   To understand Cell genome the genetic structure and activities.
6   To understand the cell proliferation and death.
