Learning objectives
The learning objectives are:
- to provide knowledge regarding chemical and biological characteristics of living organisms, particularly regarding plant organisms;
- to provide knowledge of the morpho-functional characteristics of plant organisms;
- to show how the morphology, function and behaviour of animals become adapted to the environment through evolution;
- to prepare students for the courses that require knowledge of plant and/or animal biology at the system and organism levels.
Expected learning outcomes
Expected learning outcomes are to have:
- knowledge of the basis of life its evolution and the meaning and value of biodiversity;
- knowledge and understanding of the main notions in cell biology, plant and animal biology and developmental biology;
- Knowledge of plants morpho-functional organisation;
- Ability to recognise and distinguish plants on the basis of their structure, organisation and complexity;
- capacity of grouping and classifying plants on the basis of the main plant taxonomy criteria;
- understanding of the complex interactions among various living organisms and their evolution.
