Eukaryotic Cell Structure and Function
Powerpoint Lecture
This powerpoint gives a comprehensive review of the basic anatomy of eukaryotic cells and how they function. Beginning with the first cells and the Miller-Urey experiment, students will learn about the complexities of the eukaryotic cell, from its organelles and their functions to the cell membrane and transportation. The last part of the lecture focuses on DNA, including replication and protein synthesis.
