Module objectives/intended learning After completing the course students are able to: 

  1. Explain the relationship between the structure and function of organic macromolecules, cell membranes and cell constituent organelles 
  2. Recognize the differences in procariot cells by using examples of pathogenic microbial cells and eucariot cells by using examples of medicinal plant cells and human cells
  3. Recognize a variety of cellular activities including metabolism, communication, cleavage cycle, and human cell differentiation
  4. Describe the organization of life
  5. Disciplined and responsible in the learning process. Especially discipline and responsibility in the presence and duties given.
Content Cell Biology courses in the Pharmacy Curriculum 2017 are given to students of 2nd semester with a weight of 2 credits. This course is a compulsory course. This course aims to support graduate learning achievements in the form of knowledge about the theory and concept of cell biology that can support the mastery of pharmacognosy, microbiology, biomedical sciences and the application of biomedical sciences in the development of pharmaceutical sciences. 

The Cell Biology course discusses:

  1. Cell structure and function, 
  1. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and
  2. Metabolic stage, communication, cleavage cycle, cell differentiation and life organization
Study and examination requirements and forms of examination Mid-term, final term, assignment, quiz
Media employed Text books, slides (power points), video
