Lecture Notes
This booklet contains the notes that will be presented as part of the online modules. For copyright reasons, the figures that will be shown along with the notes cannot be reproduced. However, most of these figures come from the required course text, Cell and
Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments, 6th edition, Gerald Karp, John Wiley and
Sons, 2010. The notes point out where in the course text the figures that illustrate a particular subject may be found. The exam questions come from the lecture notes.
Organization of Lecture Notes
There are 24 units or lectures (sometimes 1 unit takes less or more than the expected 1 lecture period). These 24 units or lectures are divided into six modules. Each module begins with an outline for the module. A number, a letter and another number are used to designate respectively a module, a lecture and a section. Thus 2f3 means module 2, unit f of module 2 and section 3 of lecture f. These notations correspond to material on the
Learn website.
Using Lecture Notes
A useful way to use this booklet is to make notes in it and/or to make notes in it while listening to the Biology 130 modules.

BIOLOGY 130 COURSE OUTLINE
INTRODUCTORY CELL BIOLOGY
Course Description: Introduction to the concepts of cell biology with an emphasis on
(1) the structural organization of the cell and (2) the function of critical molecular processes that are characteristic of living organisms.
Course Objectives: At the end of the course you should be able to:
Explain some of the big concepts in cell biology, such as the difference between viruses and cells, and the flow of genetic information.
Know in moderate detail several key pathways of energy metabolism and of signal transduction. Understand the
