Cell Biology Laboratory:
​
Course Description: In this course the function and structure of cells will be studied. We will use the microscope to quantify the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, measure an enzyme for the Krebs cycle, isolate chloroplast and measure the Hill reaction for photosynthesis. Furthermore, we will study the membrane and chromatin structure. The most typical cell biology technologies will be explained by hands-on experience.
Course Objectives: The students will be able to distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, understand the basic components, know how the cell produces energy and are able to connect changes of cell structure and function to disease. Advanced topics such as flux-balance analysis will be explained.
