Purpose and description of the content of education:
The subject "cell biology" will familiarize the student with the structure and functioning of eukaryotic cells. The student will acquire knowledge about the structure and function of all compartments of a eukaryotic cell, both plant and animal, will learn about the mechanisms of cell functioning and the basics of their differentiation, will consolidate knowledge about the use of appropriate light microscopy techniques for the analysis of eukaryotic cells and the basics of the preparation of biological material, and also modern research methods used in cell biology. The aim of the course is to provide the student with: (1) basic knowledge of the structure and function of the eukaryotic cell and its cellular organelles and their mutual interaction; (2) the ability to conduct observations and simple measurements, (3) competence in the processing of source data, conducting discussions and expressing one's own views.
