Block-1.pdfBlock 1: Introduction to Cell Biology discusses the cell theory, structure and basic features of the prokaryotic (Archaea and Bacteria) and the eukaryotic cells (Animal and Plants) along with the cell as an experimental model. You would be introduced to basic techniques and application of the Optical Microscopy, Electron Microscopy and Centrifugation that are used to study Cells.
Block-2.pdfBlock 2: Describes the structure and functions of subcellular organelles: Nucleus, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi Body, Peroxisomes, Lysosomes, Mitochondria and Chloroplast. It also explains in detail the structure and functions of Cell wall and Extracellular matrix, Cytoskeleton proteins and Cell movement.
Block-3.pdfBlock 3: Protein Transport focuses on targeting of proteins to the subcellular organelles. This block gives you brief introduction to the protein transport and explains how signal sequences of different proteins target and transport them from their site of synthesis to their action site in a cell.
Block-4.pdfBlock 4: Cell cycle and its regulation discusses different types of cell division: Mitosis and Meiosis and their phases. This block also explains the cell death and cell renewal.
