This cell biology laboratory manual focuses on the fundamental principles of cellular structure, function, and processes through hands-on laboratory activities. Topics include laboratory safety, macromolecules, diffusion and osmosis, cell structure, DNA, microscopy, cell division, genetics, histology, and cellular organization. The manual also introduces connections between cellular processes and broader biological systems through studies of tissues, anatomy, and animal dissections.
