Cell Biology: Mitochondria free online course focus on the power plants of the cell – mitochondria, developed by Harvard University. Moreover, the course designed to investigate the fundamentals of cell biology. Besides, the course objective is to provide lectures related to the human-centered perspective that cells are engaging ensembles of macromolecules. Moreover, the course covers complex communities in tissues, organs, and multicellular organisms.

The particular focus of the course is on the mitochondrion, the organelle that power the cell. Also, the course context is including the cell metabolism process. Finally, the course examines the F1F0 ATP synthase, the molecular machine that is responsible for the ATP synthesis that required for cell working. Above all, at the end of the course, participants are expected to learn the intuition deeply for the functional logic of a cell. So, interested people are invited to discover the cell extraordinary and wonderfully dynamic world. Apply online.
