Cell biology (Cytology) is the study of the structure and function of cells. Furthermore, it discusses how cells work and how their properties—such as metabolism, composition, cycle, and signaling—are related to their surroundings.
Molecular biology is a branch of biology that studies how biomolecules work together to create biological activity within cells. This includes understanding the interactions between DNA, RNA, proteins, and their biosynthesis.
This cellular and molecular biology course contains 21 videos that is divided into seven lessons, with assignments and a final exam at the end.
