Students will study the structure and the physiological properties of cells, including the function of organelles, the mechanisms of cell cycle, division and death. Since the lecture includes the practice session, students will confirm their own degrees of understanding. In this lecture, students will acquire knowledge and train comprehensive thinking skill on DP1 and DP2.
Cell biology is the study of biological processes within living organisms. The research area of cell biology is closely related to genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, and neuroscience. The goal of this lecture is to understand the structure and function of cells that constitute living organisms. Students can describe the technical terms learned in each lecture. In addition, they can combine their knowledge and solve the exercises given in each lecture.
Evaluation is conducted on regular examination results. A score of 60% or more is passed. Regular examination can be taken regardless of attendance rate, but students with attendance rates of less than 60% (less than 9 courses) will not qualify for re-examination. After the examination, I will explain some of its contents.
