For:   TB  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 42
Rec. self-study hours: 158

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Biology

  Advancement level (A-D): B

Aim:
Biology from a cellbiological persperctive. The course is continuation on the biochemistry course. The student should acquire basic knowledge about the structure and function of the pro- and eucarytic cells as weill as basic experimental methods within cell biology. Furthermore the course intends to give an introduction in cell- and microbiological methods as well as sterile technology.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TFBI05 Biology and TFKE25 Biochemistry.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures, laboratory projects and seminars.

Course contents:
The principal structure of the eucaryotic cell: Organcells, membrane structures, organisation of DNA, other cell components. Mitocondria and chloroplasts. Plasmamembrane: Edification, structure, transport mechanisms over membrane, methods to study membran. Compartmentation: Cytoplasm, endoplasmatic network, golgy-apparatus, peroxysomes and lysosomes. Plant cells. Photosynthesis and gluconeogenes. Control system on cellular level. Evolution on molecular and cellular level. Cellular communication. Cytoskelleton. Cell mobility as well as endo- and exocytos. Cell nucleus, cell division, growth models and differentiated cells. Structure and function of procaryotic cells. Principles of microscopy. Cultivation technology for cells.
