Weekly Update 5 - Cell Communications
This week we discuss the basics of cell communication. We have also arrived at your first Milestone, so your time management skills will be tested. On Monday, February 6th, at 5pm, your Milestone exam will open. You will have one attempt on this exam, and it closes at 5pm on February 7th. On February 8th, you can start uploading your Milestone Papers to CPR. During the week, I will also be sending newsletters and challenges. So pick your battles this week.
Admin note: On the calender, it says we will meet on Wednesday February 8th for lecture. This is an error. We will only meet this Thursday, February 9th, for lecture.
Suggested Readings:
You are asked to review chapter 7, Cell Signaling and Communication, from the Sadava text. What does it mean to review a chapter? Take 30 minutes to skim the chapter, then use it as a reference when it comes to challenges. Do not try to commit the chapter to memory, just review it.
Learning Outcomes:
- Be able to describe what is meant by cell communication.
- Be able to describe the basic concepts/steps in a signal transduction pathway.
- Be able to describe the general function and classification of receptors.
- Be able to describe the basics of various transduction models.
- Be able to describe the G Protein-cAMP model in more detail.
- Be able to discuss the basics of how cells respond to signals.
- Be able to discuss direct cell-cell communication.
