Objective: 
Course objectives:
 
This course will enable the students to –
 
  1. Formulate basic concepts of cellular structure and function covering all the components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, especially macromolecules, membranes, and organelles.
  2. Investigate an account of the complex regulatory mechanisms that control cell functions therefore it will help students to  understand how these cellular components are used to generate and utilize energy in cells.

Cell Biology

The students will-

 

CO6: Analyse the functions of nucleus and extra nuclear organelles and understand the intricate cellular mechanisms involved.

 

CO7: Appraise the detailed knowledge of different pathways related to cell signalling and apoptosis thus enabling them to understand the anomalies in cancer

 

CO8: Develop an understanding about how cells work in healthy and diseased states and to give a ‘health forecast’ by analyzing the genetic database and cell information.

 

CO9: Investigate new avenues of joining research in areas such as genetic engineering of cells, cloning, vaccines development, human fertility programme, organ transplant, etc.

 

CO10: Develop an understanding how tissues are produced from cells in a normal course and about any malfunction which may lead to benign or malignant tumor.

 

CO11: Differentiate and evaluate the role of different cytoskeleton components in intracellular movements and intercellular interactions.
