Cell Biology
Spring '99


note:  This web page is created by a  junior (premedical student, zoology major, chemistry  minor... click here to meet him) at Texas Tech University.  The  following materials come from his own attempts to display educational information which may contain erors errors.  If you find some, please contact me at andykahn@yahoo.com.  I would really appreciate it.  Now enjoy!
The honors section of BIOL 3320, Cell Biology, at Texas Tech University requires the undergraduate and graduate students of the class to choose an extra activity for a portion of the course grade in addition to taking the exams.  I have decided to create this web page covering topics that we have explored in lectures by Dr. R.L. Blanton.  If you are in a similar course or would lilke information on this subject, I hope this web page will be useful.  If you have any questions or comments, please email me at andykahn@yahoo.com.
