Course Objectives:
Cell biology is a branch of biology that deals with studying the structure and function of the cell in an organism. Every living organism is made up of cell, so cell is the one that makes up the entire organism. Thus understanding about the cell components, their function could pave way for understanding about the whole organism.
Studies on cell biology has helped to solve the various issues faced by the human society
Course Topics:
HIstory of cell biology and different theories pertaining to cell
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Structure and function of cell wall in different organisms
Composition of cell membrane, their role in cell
