This course is about the physiology of the cell. The course is divided into 10 sections which cover the various aspects related to the cell. The course is primarily taught using powerpoint although a few lectures are taught on whiteboard. The main focus of this course is on the cell and its organelles.
The first section of this course is an introduction. The second section is a detailed insight into the cell membrane covering features of the cell membrane which make it suitable for its function. The third section deals with the nucleus. In this section some topics of genetics like DNA synthesis, transcription and translation are covered. The third section deals with the cytoplasm. The focus of this section is on the cytoskeleton and glycolysis(which is an important metabolic reaction that takes place in the cytoplasm). The next section is about the mitochondria. In this section the electron transport chain and Kreb’s cycle are discussed. The next two sections are regarding the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi body. In these sections the various types of protein modifications are discussed which directs the route taken by proteins. The next two sections are discuss the functions and other aspects of lysosomes and peroxisomes. Finally the last section of this course is about ribosomes and how they play a role in protein synthesis.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to learn how cells work
