BIO 311 Cell Communications

3 Credit(s)

This course will explore the molecular mechanisms that cells utilize to detect and respond to the extracellular environment. Cells employ many sophisticated means of biochemical communication to obtain nutrients, maintain stable internal conditions, reproduce, differentiate, and migrate. This course will examine the biochemical and molecular processes that contribute to these cellular behaviors. Prerequisites: BIO212 and CHE212 or permission of the department chairperson.
