1. Brief history of general biology. 2. Chemical composition of the cell. 3. Cellular and non-cellular systems - viruses, prions, prokaryotic cell. 4. Eukaryotic cell - organelles and their functions, endosymbiotic theory. 5. Molecular basis of heredity (replication, transcription, translation). 6. Transport of substances across membranes. 7. Intercommunication between cells. 8. Metabolism of the cell, classification of organisms according to type of metabolism. 9. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis. 10.
