Course Overview

The Cell Biology: Mitochondria course by edX imparts knowledge to the candidates in the concepts like plasma membrane, membrane proteins, phospholipids, FRAP, eukaryotes, prokaryotes, mitochondrion, proton gradient, powering of the cell, endosymbiosis, human disease narrative, cellular metabolism, electron transport chain, photosynthesis, membrane transport protein, molecular structure, cellular metabolism, and F1F0 ATP synthase.

This programme also covers advanced mitochondrial research techniques. Additional resources on mitochondrial research are provided in this programme. This Cell Biology: Mitochondria certification course helps the participants gain knowledge in cell biology concepts. The functions of other cell organelles are also discussed in this programme. The candidate would explore the cell components and their working through this programme.

The certificate is provided to all the participants who complete the verified track of the program with a passing score. The achievement certificate has the logo of the institution and the sign of the instructor. The certificate can be shared with the resumes, CV, and LinkedIn profile of the participant. Though the course is self-paced, there is a time limit in case the stduents have selected the course to be pursued in the audit mode. If the students have selected the course in the verified mode they will have unlimited course access.
