LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are  a study guide based on the VCBC Introduction to Cell Biology Lecture PowerPoint:

  • What is Cell Theory and why is it important?
  • ​List and describe some of the helpful prokaryotes we discussed.
  • List and describe some of the eukaryotes that we discussed.


LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Eukaryotic Cell PPT:​

Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.


The Intro to Cell Biology Lecture materials include:
  • list of learning objectives
  • PowerPoint lecture
  • homework assignment
  • "class note" articles  
  • links to additional educational resources

INTRO TO CELL BIOLOGY HOMEWORK
An Intro to Cell Biology homework assignment is currently being developed based on the Smithsonian.com article Henrietta Lacks' "Immortal Cells" and Radiolab episode "Henrietta's Tumor". Check back soon!


REQUIRED READINGS
Here is what you need to read, in addition to the PowerPoint, to master this topic. Check Moodle for additional readings.


​​​PRACTICE TEST & REVIEW QUESTIONS
  • Although this first VCBC lecture "Intro to Cell Biology" does not have associated practice test questions, all other VCBC lecture main topics do. These are valuable studying resources in preparing for exams.
