Course Description
Cell Biology is a 3-unit lecture course that discusses the relationship of structure and functions of the
different components of the cell at the molecular level. It also takes up the complex interactions among
cells and the different techniques used in the study of the cell.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student is expected to present the following learning outcomes in line with the
Expected Lasallian Graduate Attributes (ELGA)
ELGA Learning Outcome

Service-Driven Citizen the different chemical components of the cells,
describe the structural organization and functions of
the cellular constituents, relate structure to functions,
understand the cellular processes, understand the
different interactions among cells, and describe the
working principle of the different techniques used in
the study of the cell.
