The following lists the pertinent pages in your text. You need not memorize every word of the text. Use it primarily to supplement your understanding of the lectures, then as further reading to review background material or extend your knowledge beyond the course material.
Introduction. Chap. 1. The general properties of cells.
Skim Chaps. 2-3 and 8-9 on molecules and techniques and return to these as needed during the semester. Particularly important to review protein structure.
Cell Membranes and Transport. Chaps. 10 and 11. (Check back on pp. 52-64; 469-491, Chap. 9.)
Cell Motility and Cytoskeleton. Chap. 16.
Junctions, Adhesion and Extracellular Matrix. Chap. 19.
Energetics: Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, Photosynthesis. Chap. 14.
Protein Sorting and Vesicular Traffic. Chaps. 12 and 13. (Extra material of interest: Chap. 3).
Interphase Nucleus, Transcription. Chaps. 4 (204-233), 5 (255-265), 6(315-335).
Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Cytokinesis. Chaps. 17, 18.
Signaling Mechanisms. Chap. 15.
