Learners completing Cell Bio Part A will be able to:
Learn to how to draw prokaryotes, which are older forms of single celled organisms. They lack a nucleus to hold their DNA.
Learn to how to draw eukaryotes, which are organisms having nuclei to hold their DNA in the center of their cells. We’ll draw and learn the function of the other organelles including the cell membrane, nuclear membrane, DNA, nucleolus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, peroxisomes, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, centrioles, pores, vacuoles, and the Golgi apparatus. We will compare how to draw prokaryotic cells with how to draw eukaryotic cells.
We’ll learn to distinguish and draw the differences between plant and animal cells. We will learn about the role of individual cells in multicellular lifeforms. We will discuss chlorophyll and chloroplasts.
We will discuss various types of human cells including brain cells (dendrites), skin cells (melanocytes), red blood cells (erythrocytes), and white blood cells (leukocytes).
We will discuss the nucleic acids DNA and RNA. We will discuss the various forms of DNA, including chromosomes and chromatin fiber.
We will learn about how lipids organize into bilayers to form membranes such as the cell membrane. We will learn about hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions.
