Course content
|
The course is drawn as and basic course in biology, reassuming the grammar school education. It is addressed to the students of geological curricula. Passing the course proves basic orientation in molecular biology, cytology, histology, genetics, taxonomy and ecology. It helps the students to form and base for understanding the existence of recent live systems. 1. Definition, subject and methods of biology, characteristics of live systems 2. Chemical composition of live systems, biogenous elements, water, mineral substances, amino acids, proteins, peptides, saccharides, nucleic acids, lipids 3. Cytology: non-cellular forms, structure and function of cell, plant and animal cells, cell theory. Cell structures and organelles and their function: membrane principle, plasmatic membrane, endoplasmatic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondriae, chloroplasts, cytoskeleton. 4. Cell's lifecycle and its regulation, sexual and non-sexual reproduction, mitosis, meiosis. Basic genetic terms, replication, transcription, translation, regulation of the expression of genetic information, noise in genetic information. 5. Multicellular organisms: plant tissues and organs, animal tissues, basic physiological processes in plants and animals. System of lower plants 1. 6. System of lower plants 2. 7. System of higher plants 1. 8. System of higher plants 2. 9. System of invertebrates 1. 10. System of invertebrates 2. 11. System of vertebrates 1. 12. System of vertebrates 2. 13. Ecology: basic terminology

Learning outcomes
|
The course is drawn as and basic course in biology, reassuming the grammar school education.
The students should be able to: - recall the knowledge acquired during the secondary schooling. - show basic orientation in molecular biology, cytology, histology, genetics, taxonomy and ecology. - understand of the existence of recent live systems - define the principles of the organisms´ classification
