Course/Module description:
Study of the chemical, structural and functional components of the eukaryotic cell
Course/Module aims:
Introduction and understanding of The Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Cell structure and function: The cell
membrane (plasmalemma). The waterMillie. The internal membranes (nuclear
envelope; endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi bodies; Golgi vesicles; lysosomes;
vacuoles). The mitochondrion. The cytoskeleton (microtubules and actin and
myosin filaments). Karyokinesis. Cytokinesis. Protein synthesis.
Characteristics of plant cells (optional)- 1. The cell wall. 2. The apoplast
