CSU Monterey Bay - Bio 241 - Introduction to Cell & Molecular Biology Fall 2009 Henrik Kibak Coursework for Second Exam

Chapter 8 - Cell-Cell Interactions

Pre-health students and those aiming for graduate school in biology should review this chapter in more detail than we covered in class. The material will be covered extensively in upper division Cell & Molecular Biology and in Biochemistry.

Vocabulary:

Key Figures: 8.1, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 8.11, 8.12, 8.13, 8.14, 8.15, Table 8.1, 8.16, 8.17, 8.18, Table 8.2, 8.19
The 2nd Edition of Freeman had an essay at the end of this chapter titled, "How Do Viagra®, Levitra®, and Cialis® Work?" It was an excellent example of how the general story in Figure 8.19 is applied, and was particularly easy for students to remember. For some reason, this essay has been dropped in the 3rd edition of Freeman. Please remind me to hand this out in class to those of you with the new textbook.
