Molecular and Cellular Biology

This introductory course is focused on molecular and cellular biology. It will prepare students for the upper-year courses, CCE385, CCE460 and CCE483. The course introduces the four primary biomolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids), and discusses their properties, roles, and importance in living organisms. Basic cellular biology (prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes) is also covered, including the metabolic requirements of cells, and processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The course also introduces genetics. Efforts are made to present unifying biological and chemical concepts with examples to encourage student understanding rather than memorization. NOTE: For students taking Chemical Engineering, Honours Chemistry or a Major in Chemistry. An elective course for students taking other Science programmes.
