BIO 1101 COURSE NAME: CELL BIOLOGY COURSE CODE: BIO 1101 CREDIT UNITS: 2 CU (30 CH) SEMESTER WHEN OFFERED: Semester One of Year One VENUE: DOSATE Biology Laboratory COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is designed to acquaint biology student-teachers with knowledge about the cell theory and origin of life. It also describes the functions, structures and division processes of biological cells. COURSE OBJECTIVES By the end of this course, learners are expected to be able to: 1. Describe the cellular basis of life and types of cells. 2. Describe the structures and adaptation of cells, the endomembrane system and the cytoskeleton. 3. Discuss the different methods of movement of materials in and out of cells. 4. Describe the components, formation, structure and functions of the cytoskeleton. 5. Describe the process of cell division and its significance. COURSE CONTENT 1 Cellular basis of life; Cell theory, Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells (structure and function). 2 Cell types and adaptations 3 Cell surface; plasma membrane ( Structure and function ); adaptations. 4 Movement of materials in and out of the cell; diffusion, facilitated diffusion-types of ion channels, osmosis and active transport (direct and indirect). 5 Endomembrane system; endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, lysosomal system, Cell vacuoles, microbodies)-structure and function. 6 Cytoskeleton; components, formation, structure and functions. 7 Cell division; mitosis & meiosis: stages, chromosome numbers and behaviours. Practical significance of mitosis and meiosis. 8 Cell cycle (stages and events) MODE OF DELIVERY, EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT (a)Mode of delivery: Lectures, laboratory practicals, discussions, seminars, workshops and individual research . (b) Assessment: A continuous assessment will be constituted by written assignments, practicals and course unit tests. The continuous assessment will constitute 30% of the overall grade attained while the final University written examination will constitute 70%. READING LIST 1. Carl P. Swanson & P.
