Human Cell Biology

BIOS1167

This unit of study introduces students to the biological and biochemical processes that are fundamental to life. The material covered in this unit forms the basis of subsequent biomedical and professional units of study. Knowledge gained in this unit will help students to understand principles of health and disease and the scientific basis for many of the professional practices they will undertake in their careers. The following topics are studied: structure and function of cells, homeostasis, basic chemical processes of life, biochemistry of human function, energy and function (including metabolic processes and diseases), genetic code in health and disease (including cell division, basic genetics, protein synthesis and genetic diseases). The relevance of these fundamental principles to practices of health care is examined.
