Course objectives:

This course will enable the students to -

  1. The course provides detailed insight into basic concepts of cellular structure and function covering all the components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, especially macromolecules, membranes, and organelles.
  2. It also gives 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.
