The mitochondria in cells are responsible for producing ATP, which is a critical molecule that provides the necessary energy for most cellular processes. By understanding the biochemistry underlying the production of ATP, students will be able to appreciate cellular metabolic processes. Additionally, by recognizing the normal structures and functions of tissues, students will be able to understand how abnormal changes in tissues can lead to diseases.
Objectives:
- Describe the structure and function of the cell membrane and its selective permeability.
- Contrast characteristics of extracellular and intracellular fluid.
- Explain different types of cellular transport.
- Explain osmosis and the effects of isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions on cells.
- Describe the factors contributing to resting membrane potential.
- Describe the steps of an action potential.
- Identify the general characteristics and functions of the four major tissue types.
- Compare and contrast exocrine and endocrine glands.
