The aim of this course is to understand the fundamental unit of life--the cell--at the molecular level. We will consider the assembly and structure of cellular membranes, proteins, organelles, and the cytoskeleton, as well as their roles in cellular processes including the capture and transformation of energy, catalysis, protein sorting, motility, signal transduction, and cell-cell communication. Emphasis will be placed upon the diversity of cellular form and function and the cell biological basis for disease.

Introduces fundamental principles of chemistry and prepares students to begin study in inorganic, organic, and analytical chemistry at the intermediate level. Topics include quantitative relations in chemical reactions, elementary thermodynamics, and atomic and molecular structure. Emphasizes and supports the development of quantitative reasoning and argumentation skills. Includes laboratory.
