  • Class attendance - 10 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 4 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Students will be briefly introduced to the history of general biology. They will deepen their knowledge of cells, their organelles and chemical composition. They will know the organization of cell systems, i.e. cellular and non-cellular systems, viruses, prions, prokaryotic cell. They will deepen their knowledge of the eukaryotic cell and endosymbiotic theory, organelles, cell metabolism and metabolism. They will learn the basics of heredity and variation and genetic laws.
Students will learn how to prepare and stain native plant preparations, construct a human karyotype, and verify Mendel's laws. They will be able to explain topics, basic principles and applications of general biology arising from lectures. Students will understand the structure of prokaryotic cells, including their position in the biological system; for eukaryotic cells, the composition and function of the various organelles; and the metabolism of the cell.
Prerequisites
knowledge of high school biology

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

Students will learn to prepare and stain native plant preparations, construct a human karyotype and verify Mendel's laws. They will also be able to explain the topics, basic principles and applications of general biology arising from lectures. Students will independently study the structure of prokaryotic cells including their position in the biological system. Students will study the composition and function of eukaryotic cells and the metabolism of the cell. Semestral work.
