OBJECTIVES:
• To provide knowledge on the fundamentals of cell biology.
• To understand the signalling mechanisms.
• Understand basic principles of molecular biology at intracellular level to regulate growth, division and development.

UNIT I

INTRODUCTION TO CELL

9

Cell, cell wall and Extracellular Matrix (ECM), composition, cellular dimensions, Evolution, Organisation, differentiation of prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells, Virus, bacteria,cyanobacteria, mycoplasma and prions.

UNIT II

CELL ORGANELLES

9

UNIT III

BIO-MEMBRANE TRANSPORT

9

Physiochemical properties of cell membranes. Molecular constitute of membranes, asymmetrical organisation of lipids and proteins. Solute transport across membrane’s-fick’s law, simple diffusion, passive-facilitated diffusion, active transport- primary and secondary, group translocation, transport ATPases, membrane transport in bacteria and animals. Transportmechanism- mobile carriers and pores mechanisms. Transport by vesicle formation, endocytosis, exocytosis, cell respiration.

UNIT IV

CELL CYCLE

9

Cell cycle- Cell division by mitosis and meosis, Comparision of meosis and mitosis, regulation of cell cycle, cell lysis, Cytokinesis, Cell signaling, Cell communication, Cell adhesion and Cell junction, cell cycle checkpoints.

UNIT V
