Description:
Module "Cell Biology" familiarize the student with the structure and functioning of eukaryotic cells. Students will acquire knowledge on the structure and function of all eukaryotic cell compartments of both plant and animal. Students will learn about the mechanisms of functioning of cells and the basics of their differentiation. The student learns the principles of working with the light microscope and stereomicroscope and the basis of preparation of biological material and the methods used in cell biology.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of the plant and animal organisms structure.
