An introduction to basic cell structure and physiology with emphasis on: function and structure of cell membranes; metabolism and enzyme function; genetics and protein synthesis; genetics of viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes; cell signaling and communication. The use of models, microscope slides, and physiological experiments illustrate cellular structure and function. This course does not satisfy the prerequisite for BIOL& 212 or 213. It is strongly recommended that students complete high school chemistry or CHEM& 121 or higher prior to enrollment, or be concurrently enrolled in CHEM& 121. $25 science fee.
