| TFBI10 | Cell Biology, 7,5 ECTS-points /Cellbiologi/ Advancement level: B | |
| Aim: Biology from a cellbiological persperctive. The course is continuation on the biochemistry course. The student should acquire basic knowledge about the structure and function of the pro- and eucarytic cells as weill as basic experimental methods within cell biology. Furthermore the course intends to give an introduction in cell- and microbiological methods as well as sterile technology.Prerequisites: TFBI05 Biology and TFKE25 Biochemistry.Course organization: Lectures, laboratory projects and literature seminars.Course content: The principal structure of the eucaryotic cell: Organcells, membrane structures, organisation of DNA, other cell components. Mitocondria and chloroplasts. Plasmamembrane: Edification, structure, transport mechanisms over membrane, methods to study membran. Compartmentation: Cytoplasm, endoplasmatic network, golgy-apparatus, peroxysomes and lysosomes. Plant cells. Photosynthesis and gluconeogenes. Control system on cellular level. Evolution on molecular and cellular level. Cellular communication. Cytoskelleton. Cell mobility as well as endo- and exocytos. Cell nucleus, cell division, growth models and differentiated cells. Structure and function of procaryotic cells. Procaryotic genetics including transfering mechanisms for DNA, plasmid biology. Mutations. Mutagenes. Recombination. Mobile genetical elements. Cellbiological methods: light fluorescence- and electron microscopy. Cultivation technology for bacteria and mammal cells.Course literature: Alberts B et al. 1994.
