- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Lower Secondary School Teacher Training in Natural Science (programme PdF, B-SPE)
- Course objectives
- The main objectives of the course are the following: emproving basic knowledge about general biology acquired on the secondary school; assumption of proficiency to work with recommended literature and to study systematicly along the syllabus etc.; creation of basic positive approach to biology as scientific discipline (which naturally makes knovledge fundament for teaching of natural history on a basic school) is also important.
- Syllabus
- 1. Basic manifestations of life – general characteristics of living systems
- 2. Substantial structure of living matter (biochemistry): biogenous elements; sugars and starchs (sacharids), lipids, proteins (incl. enzymes), nukleid acids
- 3. Dividing of organisms (3 domains resp. 7 kingdoms); prokaryotic organisms (Archaea and Bacteria, incl. Cyanobacteria)
- 4. Eukaryotic organisms (Chromista, Protozoa, Fungi, Animalia, Plantae), origin of mitochondriae and chloroplasts
- 5. Cytology – structure of eukaryotic cell; cell wall, cytoplazma, biomembranes, nucleus
- 6. Membranous organellas a ribosomnes
- 7. Tubular organellas (cytoskeleton)
- 8. Cell cycle; reproduction of cells – mitosis and meiosis (+ heritability), chromosomes
- 9. Transfer of genetic information (molekular genetics); replication, transkription and translation
- 10. Acellular forms (viruses)
- 11. Nutrition: autotrophy and heterotrophy, photosynthesis and respiration
- 12. Relations of organims and their surroundings (environment)
- 13. Genesis and development of life (on Earth) and contitions of life (in the Space)
- 14. Fundamentals of taxonomy and systematics
