About This Tutorial
This tutorial is a self-paced, interactive platform to teach
biology fundamentals to engineers. Cells need to grow and reproduce so
that larger components such as tissues, organs, and organisms
can flourish. This tutorial focuses on how cells carry out these
important tasks. Estimated completion time: 1-3 hours.
