Exploring the life of the cell

All organisms are either made up of many cells, or individual cells. Thus, the cell is the basic unit of biology. Only by studying the structure and function of cells can we learn more about how life works. Our understanding of cell structure and function has advanced tremendously recently. Cell biology is a very exciting multidisciplinary science. A solid understanding of cells and their properties is fundamental to a proper appreciation of all other aspects of biology (3 credits).
