Objective: 

OBJECTIVES-

  1. To  understand  the  structural  architecture and  functions  of  basic  components  of  prokaryotic  and eukaryotic cells and their organelles
  2. To understand the cell theory
  3. To understand the role of membrane in transport of biomolecules across the cell.
  4. To understand how these cellular components are used to generate and utilize energy in cells
  5. To understand the process of cell division in both somatic and germ cell
  6. To understand Vesicular traffic in the secretory and endocytic pathways (GERL)

LEARNING OUTCOMES- 

  1. Students will understand the structures and purposes of basic components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, especially macromolecules, membranes, and organelles.
  2. Will be able to describe the function and the composition of the plasma membrane, will be able to explain the principles of the cell theory; will be able to understand the importance of the nucleus and its components.
  3. Will be able to understand how the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus interact with one another and know with which other organelles they are associated.
  4. Will be able to understand the process of cell division.
  5. Will be able to identify the three primary components of the cell’s cytoskeleton and how they affect cell shape, function, and movement.
