JNTUH B.Tech 2nd year Cell Biology gives you detail information about Cell Biology Engineering R13 year subject. It will be help full you to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Objectives
The objective of the course is to familiarize the students with cell structure, function, multiplication,
differentiation, inter and intracellular signaling and regulatory pathways.
UNIT I: CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Basic properties of cells; Cell theory; Cell complexity; Different classes of cells; Dimensions of cells; Size & shape of Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic cells; Chemistry of the cell; Importance of carbon and water; Plasma membranestructure and function; Cytoplasm & Cytoskeleton; Microtubules, Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments. Structure and functions of Nucleus, Endoplasmic reticulum, Ribosomes, Golgi Complex, Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, Chloroplast & Mitochondria.
UNIT II: INTRACELLULAR TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
Passive and Active Transport, Permeases, Na+ /K+ Pump, ATPase pumps, Lysosomal & Vacuolar membrane, ATP dependent Proton Pumps, Co-Transport, Symport, Antiport, Transport into Prokaryotic Cells, Endocytosis and Exocytosis. Post Translational Modifications and Transport of Macromolecules:Protein glycosylation, and other modifications. Sorting & macromolecular traffic within cells. Polarization of cells & trafficking in polarized cells.
UNIT III: CELL DIVISION AND DIFFERENTIATION
Overview of the Cell Cycle, Interphase, Mitosis, Meiosis and Cytokinesis. Animal Cell & Yeast Cell Division, Cell Cycle Control & Checkpoints. General Characteristics of Cell Differentiation, Historical events in Cell differentiation, Cytoplasmic determinants, Nucleoplasmic Interactions; Stem Cell differentiation and its Biological Importance.

Outcomes
After completion of the course students would be able to distinguish different cell organelles by structures and explain the mechanisms associated with them. They can identify the important check points of cell division and alteration leading to fatal consequences.
