JNTUK B.Tech Cell Biology gives you detail information of Cell Biology R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
UNIT I: HISTORY AND MORPHOLOGY OF THE CELL
Discovery of cells; Basic properties of cells; Cell theory; Cell complexity – cell size & shape; different classes of cells; prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells; structure and functions of nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, peroxisomes, chloroplast & mitochondria.
LO: Ability to identify and isolate cells & cell organelles. LA: Assessment on identification by counting of cells.
UNIT II: CHEMISTRY OF THE CELL
Importance of carbon and water; plasma membrane-structure and function; cytoplasm; cytoskeleton-microtubules, microfilaments & intermediate filaments, cell motility– cilia & flagella.
LO: To study the integrity of components present in the cell. LA: Assessment by identification under microscope.
UNIT III: CELL DIFFERENTIATION
General characteristics of cell differentiation, differentiation in unicellular & multicellular organism, cytoplasmic determinants, nucleoplasmic Interactions; embryonic and adult stem cells and its biological importance.
LO: To demonstrate various characteristics of cell differentiation. LA: Assessment by theoretical analysis.
