Start NowThis course covers the material of content category 2A of the official MCAT exam content outline.
From the smallest to the largest order, biological systems organize themselves into collections of molecules that together make up the structures that form cells. These cells continue to organize themselves into tissues and later organs, making up entire multicellular and multisystemic organisms. These arrangements of nigh unfathomable complexity represent a continuous challenge to those dedicated to the study of molecular and cellular biology.
In this course, the student will be given an overview of the assemblies of different molecules, cells, and tissues. For optimal comprehension, the student should be familiar with the basic concepts of college-grade biology and chemistry.

Perfectly clear...not sure what the other reviewer is on about.
The pictures really help to understand these processes. Material about physics is usually boring for me but this time is was not so
informative and interesting way of conveying the subject which helps understanding them much easier.
Easy to understand.I like how she uses examples to illustrate passive vs. active transport.

Amazing lecture, Dr. Georgina lessons are by far the best I've had in citology. Very clear and straight forward, perfect for the Mcat. Thank you!
The most important part of this lecture in my opinion is the analogies that Dr. Georgina offers. It really help us to understand for example when she associated the Golgi Complex with a Fedex facility, or when she connects the fact that liver cells have more SER since one of its important functions is detoxification.
she is doing very well in explaining the topics and precise.
Great material easy to learn good pictures …..thank you so much
very confused and not organized I feel like its too messy and i can't catch the points
I am enjoying the lectures. I have two, very minor issues. 1. They are a bit too "granular". Some are so short as to prevent you from digesting the material as it is presented. 2. On several occasions, the questions were not covered in that segment but rather in the next!
Thank you, Dt. Cornwall, for this chapter!!! It was very useful and finally, with the help of your tips, mnemonic and your awesome teaching style, I could understand the process!
Really liked Enough chemistry to explain it / not more Shows that she is passonate about the subject
Thank you so much It was great I enjoyed watching these videos
Very good teaching. Very good images and very good explanation.
Simplified and we'll explained. The teacher knows her topics well and explains in a simple way for all to understand.
very clear , and natural. High yield, very in depth. Great knowledge gained
The content of the lecture/presentation is excellent. Has somebody else prepared the material?
Dr. Ahern is a very good lecturer. He explains concepts very clearly.
Very good lecture! Interesting clinical correlation (celiac disease). Thank you!
not very engaging with the viewer, and it could be even more dynamic
Awesome overview! Thank you! Particularly liked the gluten example. Also graphics were good - will stick in my brain longer.
I dont know if its the diagram or what the doctor is saying but i just cant understand the MAP kinase and the GEF and everything else afterwards
Explica las cosas super simples y puntuales, se memoriza rapido de esa manera
I recommend include the cc out of slides screen, the letters do not allow to watch the information
Hi I appretiate her lectures about biochemistry, l hope the following lectures would offer me more interesting information.
Me agrada como explica las cosas la Dra, creo que lo hace que sea entendible de forma sencilla para cualquiera
complicated topic but I think I got it, though the Tyrosine kinase itself is a bit complex
The lectures are great... But I just feel like they are too expansive... Not very suitable for a dedicated study period
The way of teaching of Georgina is really impresive, i understanded everything. The best classes ever.
Very comprehensive lecture . It' s clear and simple. Thank you for your work .
Dr. Cornwall makes the topics easy to understand and retain. Her approach is not overwhelming but yet not so simple you are bored.
Very detailed. Moves through information and a good pace. Sifts out the important information versus stuff we don't need to know for the exam.
the concepts are clear and the time is enough, examples are short.
Misuse of the words fludity and stability as if they were synonyms makes answering the question at the end confusing. Other than that, it's a good lecture.
It was a great lesson thanks for everyting short and briefly everyting.
Great lectures, very clear and understandable! Thank you, Dr Georgiana Cornwall!
Great lecture which allowed me to understand the topic much better than I was taught
Explains concept very well with good analogies that further enhances my understanding.
Dr Cornwall has the gift for teaching!! She explains things very well, thank you!
The module is complete but the questions can get too easy
I really enjoyed the video and it made me learn, also I liked that are short videos
They are so awesomely explained and very helpful thank you. I’d love the videos to have that ten second rewind or fast forward arrows like YouTube does, and then it would be perfect.
Very concise. Great illustrations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
Good, where are the rest of the organelles (like peroxisome)
just excellent , the content and the preparations were realyy excellent and goes very easy.
Very disorganised way of explaining concepts It would be much better if things were presented in more detail and if the presentations were structured adequately
The presentation is simple, short and concise preparing students for more detailed content. I believe that this is an efficient approach toward a broader base of an audience. Thank you!
So much more simple than my lectures. Thanks for the detailed lecture. You're a life saver.
In my school we will take this lecture in 2 hours!!! Way too short and superficial
very good lecture. pretty well organized and instructive. He has a deep knowledge of the material making me to pay special attention to all his lectures.
I am a biochemistry student studying in the UK I found this so useful especially as a foundation in my initial year of study.
I love the visuals, her method of speaking and the transcript at the end
In terms of studying for something like USMLE, brief intro is fine! Such topics will not be tested on the exam but are necessary to build foundations for other future topics. If you are studying for other exams, this whole module may be a bit light on key information. Great as a refresher though!
This is not a USMLE 1 focused topic, an important material for the step, it's so superficial either the question that is a first order question. Need to going deep in the topics, we're not an undergraduate students.
First of all I would like to say that I really appreciate all of the effort by the professors and Lecturio to do great lectures, however, I would like to say, as well, that you need to focus on the exam format (In this case - USMLE Step 1). For example, in this lecture it was asked: "Which of the following is NOT a lysosome related disorder?" that is pretty good, because it has a clinical context with the subject, however this " lysosome related disorder" have never been taught by Professor Cornwall.
The chapter about cellular structure has given me clear explanation and enhance my knowledge about the different functions that the plasma membrane assure. The course just makes my understanding of cell dynamic very straightforward.
very good, is complicated, but i understand everything, she is a good teacher
I agree that it was brief if someone was looking for something more comprehensive. It was sufficient for me as I only required this to understand one lecture slide however not enough questions.
Based on explaination. I felt there was some lack of informations. In some area needs to be more profound.
great lecturer who is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, pitch, diction and pace is terrific. keep up the good job.
Excellent lectures, you can understand in a few minutes the basics of difficults topics
couldnt understand a thing. Please try to use animation to explain better
Classes have an excellent quality, however there are small mistakes when you´re reffering to some specific molecules such as cAMP and cGMP because in some ocasions, you tend to exchange one with the other in just a few ocassions. Nonetheless, the overall course is excellent, with clear explanations.
u r so good like honestly amazing thank you so much professor
I learned a lot about cell structure in the most simple and efficient way.
It is too much Helping. It is Awesome and helpful
Every topic was clearly explained and I could understand them very well.
I think this course is really informative, though I would like some more details in subjects like RTKs and G coupled proteins. And also please add English subtitles to this course! I'm not native and I found it hard to keep up!
Needs more substance. This was barely long enough to be an introduction.
It's very clearly explained and very useful for my studies. I would like it to be a bit more detailed but not too difficult.
I like the way the instructor presents the material , and the examples she uses.
This course really helped me understand the cellular structure, I learnt more from one of the 20 minute lectures, than I did in a 3 hour lecture at university, so these really help!
Good and clear explanation, Dr. G makes it fun to learn biology.
