“Molecular and Cellular” is a common biology curriculum content of the first one compulsory module, this module include: the molecular composition of cells, cell structure, cell metabolism, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, senescence and apoptosis five parts.

1 The purpose of this module students significance

Nature and society vastly different things, all the different sports with the physical manifestations of life is the highest form of physical exercise. Life on Earth, in addition to the virus by cells of the outer cell structure and biological activities of life is the basic unit. Cells of different organisms, the composition of its material elements is generally the same, that contain water, inorganic salts, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Therefore, to understand the laws of life activities and to explore the essence of life, from the beginning of molecular and cellular life.

This module selects the most basic knowledge of cell biology and cell research and practical application of new advances, the knowledge content is an essential foundation for learning other modules. Through this module, students will learn at the micro level, the material life and the unity of the biological material, living cells, material, energy and information changes in a unified, uniform cell structure and function, part and whole organisms reunification, helped the formation of dialectical view of nature. Study found that cell, cell theory of the establishment and development, helps students understand the scientific process and the nature. The module learning objectives are:

1.1 knowledge goals

1) Description of life’s basic chemical composition, understanding of life on Earth is to build carbon-based, the basic properties of biological macromolecules depends on the length of the carbon skeleton, structural arrangement and functional group; overview of intracellular water and inorganic The role of salt, to clarify the structure and function of biological macromolecules. Detection of biological tissue sugar, fat and protein.

2) summarize the basic cell theory argument, clear electron microscope technology, cell disruption and ultra-centrifugation is to explore cell structure and function of important ways and means; understanding of biofilm system is the most basic structure of life, more than the cell cytosol kind of metabolic activity of the place, the completion of organelles in living cells by a variety of important life activities, the nucleus is the regulation of genetic and metabolic activity center, to understand life activities of the unit cells.

3) to explore the living cell membrane has selective permeability to illustrate the way different substances out of cells. Explore the source of enzymes within living cells, the role of features and chemical properties, as well as the factors that affect enzyme activity. ATP and ADP to explain the relationship of mutual transformation, to clarify ATP’s role in energy metabolism. To clarify the process of photosynthesis, light systems and light and dark reaction and glucose production, outlined measures to improve the photosynthetic efficiency, understanding the importance of photosynthesis in nature.

4) For example, cell proliferation and its significance to say, diagrams meristem cell growth and proliferation of periodicity. Overview split between the metabolic activity of cells and the results of the cell-free mitotic process and characteristics of the observed cell mitosis and an overview of the process and characteristics.

5) examples of biological cells is the main process of individual development and differentiation of cells still have the developmental potential. Examples of cell aging and death is a normal phenomenon of life, of cell aging and apoptosis and human health. Describes the main features of cancer cells, and analyzes the causes cancerous cells to collect and exchange information on cancer prevention and control.

1.2 skills targets

1) The chemical elements through the use of icons will be categorized, summarized in the table with the knowledge of water and inorganic salts, sugars and lipids to the knowledge principled, outline method with inductive knowledge of protein, nucleic acid molecule with a flow chart presentation of process, compare and contrast methods of dealing with the organelles of learning materials, learning methods and strategies to accept training to improve self-learning ability.

2) through the observation of cell DNA and RNA distribution of mitochondria and chloroplasts observation, identification of tissue reducing sugar, protein, starch and fat, extraction and separation of chlorophyll production and observation of root tip mitosis sheeting and other experiments, culture experiments Experimental observation of operational skills and capacities; by exploring the cell membrane permeability, induced cytoplasmic wall of separation and recovery, exploring the factors that affect the activity, explore ways of yeast respiration experiment, accepted methods of scientific inquiry training, to develop their capacity to scientific inquiry . Through simulation of biofilm permeability, material diffusion rate and cell size of relationship, to develop their experimental innovation.

3) through the analysis of cell parts of the structure and function, part and whole relationship of cell division and differentiation, differentiation and dedifferentiation, differentiation and transformation of the relationship between the observation and analysis of mitosis in different periods between cells, the structural linkages and development changes, developing and enhancing their abstract thinking ability.
