Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
Students obtain particular conception of the of cell biology in different types of eukaryotic cells (animal, plant, fungi) and prokaryotic cells.
Students will be able to take bearings in biology. Biology is prerequisite for biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, immunology etc.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination

Written exam. Students must answer more than 60 % questions.
