Course content

Cell Biology- methods of cell study. Light microscopes, electron microscopes, cell fractionation. Prokaryotic cell-cell structure, functions of organelles. Bacteria. Archea. Eukaryotic cell- structure of an eukaryotic cell: cell membranes, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, cilia, flagella, mitochondria, plastids, cell wall, vacuole Transport of substance across cell membranes. Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis. Active transport, cytosis. Cell division - the cell cycle. Mitosis, meiosis. Respiration- glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation. Anaerobic respiration Photosynthesis -chloroplasts, the light-dependent reaction, the light independent reaction (Calvin cycle) Structure and function of DNA. Replication of DNA. Transcription of RNA. Synthesis of proteins - translation. Viruses- bacteriophages, viruses, plant viruses, life cycle of viruses.

Learning outcomes
|
To get knowledge of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells -cell structure and functions of organelles. Transport of substances across cell membranes. Photosynthesis. Respiration. Cell division. To undestand principles of molecular biology: Structure and function of DNA. Replication of DNA. Mutation of DNA. Transcription of RNA. Synthesis of proteins - translation To learn basic facts of viruses- bacteriophages, animal viruses, plant viruses, life cycle of viruses.
Students will know the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell, and differences in the structure of plant, animal and fungal cells. Students will understand physiological processes at the cell level and will gain insight into molecular processes as replication, transcription and translation. Students will be able to use their knowledge in the teaching proces and in the study of other fields (botanic, zoology, human biology, and physiology).
