The students should have understood some life processes on the molecular or cell level. Besides, they should have understood the evolution of the living systems, to learn their basic classification and ecology. Recquired knowledges are defined more detailed by annotation, curriculum and basic literature.

Basic knowledge of secondary school biology and chemistry.

The subject is followed by fields subjects of food chemistry, biotechnology and chemistry and technologies of environmental protection (biochemistry, microbiology, food technology, hydrobiology, food chemistry, biotechnology, molecular genetics, gene technology).

The course uses teaching methods in form of lecture (2 teaching hours per week). The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available tostudents.

The exam is written. It is examined the understanding of the explained concepts, their relations and selected figures as well as theories.
