BIO130H1

UTSG

Molecular and Cell Biology

One of the goals of modern biology is to understand how the basic building blocks of life give rise to biological form and function. This course provides students with a common lexicon to understand the key principles and concepts in molecular and cell biology, with a focus on how the building blocks of life lead to functioning cells. (Lab Materials Fee: approximately $11). Lab coat and safety glasses are required for use in laboratories; students are responsible for purchasing these items (approximate cost is $27).

We have condensed courses—one semester science courses at UofT cover the same amount of material two semester courses at other universities would. I have friends at other Ontario schools learning concepts from BIO130, cellular biology, in their second year bio courses. As much as I love this school, I'd honestly go somewhere else if I was back in grade 12 making this decision again. Other schools let their students have it so easy, here you gotta keep grinding.
