L2: Cell Types & Subcellular Structures
• Explain the concept of ‘the cell’
• Classify different types of cells: prokaryotes, eukaryotes, bacteria, archaea, fungi, plants, animals
Outline the basic organisation of eukaryotic cells and give a brief description of the major features and organelles, and the specialised cellular processes that take place in them: plasma membrane, nucleus, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and peroxisomes, mitochondria and chloroplasts, cytosol, cytoskeleton

L4: Cytoskeleton
Learning Objectives:
- the terms microtubule, microfilament, intermediate filament
- the structure and polymerisation of actin and the function of myosin
- the properties of tubulin and microtubules
