Methods
Used for Biochemistry - Organelle Regeneration Kinetics
Educational Goals:
- Study flagella regeneration as a model for complex cellular metabolism.
- Use image analysis as a tool for quantifying biological information.
- Use a model system as a representative organism.
Learning Outcomes - Students will:
- design an well controlled experiment to measure cellular
change over time
- relate lab results to biochemical and molecular pathways
- analyze lab data to describe biological processes
- graph raw data
- explain scientific data and analysis in written and
oral formats
- hypothesize a drugs mode of action when given experimental
evidence
- use a microscope and a camera properly
- quantify visual information using computer software
- describe why Chlamydomonas is a good model organism for certain studies
but not others
