Course objectives
At the end of the course students of biochemistry ahould have the basic knowledges of biology, histology, cytology and zoology that is necessary for their next learning.
Learning outcomes
The student will get an overview of cell biology, processes in the cell, chemical composition of cell, cell division. He will also be able to describe plant tissues, animal tissues and their functions.
