BI 209 Foundations in Cellular and Molecular Biology

(4 credits)
Foundations in Cellular and Molecular Biology is an intermediate-level course that provides students with fundamental knowledge of the molecular basis of cellular structure and function. Classroom discussions will include structure/function relationships of the major classes of biomolecules, with a focus on protein structure/function, the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, and regulation of gene expression. Foundational concepts in cellular structure and function, including transport across cell membranes, cellular signaling, as well as thermodynamic principles governing the acquisition and transformation of energy to carry out cellular work, will be covered. These course topics will be explored using a lecture/discussion/interactive problem-solving approach.

Prerequisite: BI101/General Biology I & BI102/General Biology II
