Cells, Cellular Biology, Proakryotes, Eukaryotes, Homeostasis, Cell Transport, Virus Structure, Organelles
Are you curious about what powers all living organisms? Struggling to grasp basic concepts about cells and cell processes? Welcome to Cellular Biology: The Fundamental Unit of Life! In this course, you’ll go on a journey to explore the remarkable world of cells, the building blocks of life itself. Discover the different types of cells, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, and come to an understanding of how their structure is related to their function. You will gain an understanding of how cells carry out their functions. Discover how cells maintain homeostasis and adapt to their environment. You will go on to learn about how diverse cell types are while helping multicellular organisms to function. You will get to witness the complexity of cells through a virtual lab. Implications in the fields of medicine and biotechnology will be revealed to the student as well. Students will engage in activities that will help build there foundation of skills for future scientific endeavors. By the end of this course you will have a greater understanding of cells as the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms. The student will build a foundation and skills that will help them pursue more in depth studies in biology, the medical field, or where understanding the basic unit of life is essential. Come along with me as I take you through the world of cells!
What you’ll learn
- The student will demonstrate an understanding that cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things..
- compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- investigate and explain cellular processes, including homeostasis and transport of molecules.
- compare the structures of viruses to cells, describe viral reproduction, and describe the role of viruses in causing diseases.
