2. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA ASIGNATURA
Cell biology is an exciting and complex science, rich and integrative, because it implicitly includes anatomy.
["embryology","histology","physiology","biochemistry","biophysics","microscopy","genetics","immunology","toxicology"]
computing, environmental biology and probably many more, where each of these fields has its own
interest and styles of experimentation. In many ways, the study of this science in the words of Gerald Karp (2010),
remains as a tribute to human curiosity for investigating, discovering, and to human creative intelligence to
design complex instruments and elaborate techniques through which such discoveries can be made.

3. GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE SUBJECT (Based on the general objectives of the

race)
Understand the advances made in the study of cellular structure and physiology. Relate cellular activity to
the alteration of the state of health and well-being in living beings. Explain the dynamic nature of the cell membrane.
Identify biomolecules and their importance in life; Identify the components of the cytoskeleton and relate them.
with cellular functions

4. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE SUBJECT (Based on the general objectives of the

career)
Achieve that the student knows, explains, and reflects on the importance of the cell, its structure, and function; apply
science, technology, and values in the profession.

5. CONTRIBUTION OF THE SUBJECT IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING (Graduate Profile)

The subject is basic and general, the cell is also the structural and functional unit of living beings, it contributes.
to the later knowledge of the subjects of Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, biochemistry, biology
molecular, toxicology, Food Chemistry, Food Analysis, etc.

6. LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE SUBJECT: (to achieve the learning outcomes

of the graduation profile of the degree

Apply the knowledge to assess the importance of food in the functioning of an organism, health.
It largely depends on the foods and the environment that surrounds us. It understands the importance of plants.
for the life of the human being.
Applies knowledge in the qualitative analysis of biomolecules. Understands the changes that occur in the
cells due to toxins that enter the body through different means. Discriminates the foods it consumes.
Understand and explain the importance of food quality management.
