- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to: (1) to work with recommended literature (2) to study systematicly along the syllabus etc. (3) to create basic positive approach to biology as scientific discipline (which naturally makes knowledge fundament for teaching of natural history on a basic school) (4)to understand basic principles of life
- 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

- 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
