Physiology and Cell Biology

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 5BI137

The course focus on the morphology, physiology and life processes of plants and animals. In particular, the structure and function of eukaryotic cells are dealt with and provide the prerequisites for understanding the connection between different levels of organismal organization from cell biology to ecophysiology. The course provides basic knowledge about the development and composition of organs and organ systems within the animal world, illustrated through comparisons between various selected, representative animal groups. Likewise, how plants develop in harmony with environmental conditions, in terms of plant organs, form, energy processes and physiology. The course also deals with how organisms adapt their physiology to a life in different, often extreme, environments. The course contains theoretical and practical parts, of which special laboratory work with consideration of lab safety regulations is included. The course is divided into two parts; Plant Physiology and Zoophysiology, the theoretical part of which ends with written exams. Within each part, thematic work is carried out which is discussed in writing and orally. **Module 1. Zoophysiology** (7.5 credits in total). This part includes structure, physiology, development, function and environmental adaptation in animals, as well as zoophysiological laboratories (equivalent to 1 credit). The module includes working with a thematic literature project that is reported in writing and/or orally **Module 2. Plant physiology** (7.5 credits in total). This part includes structure, physiology, development, function and environmental adaptation of plants, as well as plant physiology laboratories (equivalent to 1 credit). The module includes working with a thematic literature project that is reported in writing and/or orally
