The Dynamic Cell 2 (BI0023)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 8 ? Acronym : BIO-2-TDC

This core biology course covers the dynamic nature of cells and the metabolic processes that occur in a regulated manner within cells. The lecture material is complemented by a graphics workshop, tutorials, laboratory practicals and sessions that follow-up some of the practical classes.

Entry Requirements

? Pre-requisites : Introduction to the Chemistry of Biology 1 or Biological Chemistry (Foundations) 1 and Biological Chemistry 1. Quantification in the Life Sciences 1 and Molecules and Cells 1 are strongly recommended.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Knowlegde and understanding of the basic unit of Biology - the cell - and its components and dynamic entities. Ability to understand quantitative aspects of biochemistry and to solve problems, evidenced by performance in in-course and examination problem questions.

Assessment Information

Degree examination in December.
Examination 60%,
In-course assessed (ICA) components 40%
The ICA work consists of 8% for a multiple choice test, 20% for an assessed problem and 12% for the practical work.
