TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course, the students
1. Would have deeper understanding of cell at structural and functional
level.
2. Would have broad knowledge on the molecular interaction between cells.
3. Would demonstrate a clear understanding of the signal transduction, secondary messengers.
4. Would develop skill on working principles of microscopy and identification of cell types.
