Cell and Molecular Biology Course

This course studies the scope of Cell and Molecular Biology, techniques for studying cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (characteristics and differences), structure and function of the plasma membrane (composition, structure and function of membrane proteins, membrane lipids and fluidity, membrane transport), aerobic and mitochondrial respiration (mitochondrial structure and function, role of mitochondria in the formation of ATP, proton translocation and proton motive force, oxidative metabolism in mitochondria, peroxisomes), structure and function of endomembranes (nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vesicles, lysosomes, vacuoles) , cytoskeleton and cell movement (microtubules, intermediate filaments, microfilaments, cell movement), photosynthesis and chloroplasts (chloroplast structure and function, photosynthetic metabolism, photosynthetic units, photophosphorylation), cell interactions with the environment (extracellular matrix and cell junctions ), cell genetic substance (genes, genome, DNA and chromosomes, RNA and transcriptome, protein and proteome), gene expression (transcription, post transcriptional process, translation, post-translational process, gene expression in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells), regulation of gene expression, cell signaling and signal transduction, cell cycle and cell death (cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, apoptosis, and necrosis), proliferation and cancer cells, as well as Cell and Molecular Biology applications in various fields. This material is delivered through lectures, presentations and assignments.
