A study of the structure & processes of living cells, including prokaryotes (archaea, eubacteria) and emphasizing eukaryotes (plants, animals, fungi, etc.). Area of focus include cell anatomy, structure and function of biological macromolecules, processes of the gene (replication, transcription, translation), endomembrane trafficking, cytoskeletal structure and function, regulation and mechanics of cell division, and cell signaling.

The molecular, cellular and morphogenetic aspects of embryology, organogenesis and other developmental phenomena of animals are considered in the lecture. Some aspects of plant development are discussed. The laboratory includes experiments that demonstrate the morphogenetic activities of the cell. Students are encouraged to design their own experiments.
