My question is "Is cell bio vital to succeeding in microbiology?" or are they two completely different things? thanks! also microbio almost mandatory for a pre-vet curriculum or am I mistaken?
Microbiology was an introduction to the structure and processes in prokaryotic cells.
Is that Molecular biology that you're thinking of?

Now as for cell bio, that class kicked my ass big time. I took it before biochem, genetics, et and ended up regretting that decision! Unlike the previous posters I really did not have that much trouble with biochem, it was a relative breeze. Anyhow I ended up retaking cell my last semester(B+), after finishing all the other stuff and it was not nearly as bad, but still a lot of work. I am SO NOT a molecular guy. Now anatomy or endocrinology, those come easier to me. 😎 I guess everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. 👍
Here at Colo State, cell is considered the toughest undergrad course in the natural science dept. It is killer -- makes organic look like a cakewalk. Is it an easy class at other schools? Seriously, the semester I took it only one person out of 62 got an A in it. My B+ was really killer, and only made possible by my lab grade, and that I was repeating it.It's good to know someone else had a little trouble with cell/molecular bio. I thought I was the only one. I'm trying my hardest and still struggling to keep that B. I'm not a molecular person either. I do however love anatomy and such, so hopefully I'll feel a bit more comfortable with those subjects.
