Questions for lab no 1

Lab No 1: Live staining of pond water organisms

Which organisms did you observe in pond water?

Can you compare different patterns of movement in these organisms?

You can answer these questions on your lab notebook or comment here.

Activate you accounts @fccollege.edu.pk

All students must activate their fccollege.edu.pk email accounts immediately. You can do this by seeing Mr. Ghaus Mohammad in room 205. These will be required for forgotten password issues related to your Student Web Account and is your authentic email to contact administration or faculty at Forman. 
When faculty/administration send an email at your address you are supposed to be able to access it.Therefore activate now. This will serve as an alternate to SMS!

Fall 2012 Class: Welcome and Course Outline

Dear Students

Welcome to the world of cell biology. Cell - the basic unit of structure and functions of the known living organisms is very important unit to study. Cell biology reveals the wonders of cell as a structural and functional unit; how they are formed, how they coordinate, how they respond to environment, what happen when we are ill, and many more things.
