Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
Basic understanding of eukaryotic cell function and organization, cell division and cell signaling. Emphasis is placed on general context.
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: - describe the chemical composition and cellular organization - explain the fundamental processes and mechanisms essential for cell functioning - describe the structure and function of individual organelles - explain the process of cell division and cell cycle regulation - clarify the principles of intracellular signaling and intercellular communication
Prerequisites
unspecified
