Molecular Cell Physiology

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course examines the molecular basis of cellular processes from cell-division to cell signalling, cell and tissue interactions, cellular mechanisms of development, cell differentiation, and the immune system. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 311-3 Preclusion(s): BIOL 424-3 Credit is not granted for both 400- and 600-level courses having the same title, unless otherwise specified in the course description. A prerequisite course is an academic requirement that must be completed prior to the student taking a course. Unless otherwise stated, a passing grade of D- or better is required to satisfy as a prerequisite course. Prerequisites are used to ensure that a student has the required background to successfully complete the course. Prerequisites may also have prerequisites. These prerequisites must also be fulfilled. For example: COMM 314-3 has a prerequisite of COMM 313-3, COMM 313-3 has a prerequisite of COMM 210-3, and COMM 210-3 has a prerequisite of COMM 100-3. In this case, a student must have credit for COMM 313-3, COMM 210-3, and COMM 100-3 before being eligible to enroll in COMM 314-3. Not all courses are offered every year.
