Learning outcomes
Module: BIOLOGIA GENERALE E CELLULARE: II
-------
Module: BIOLOGIA GENERALE E CELLULARE: I
-------
Module: GENERAL AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY
-------
The course in Cell Biology (I and II) aims to provide the student with the main principles that determine the organization and function of the cell. Basic knowledge about the biology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (animals and plants) will be provided, as well as the structure and function of various cellular compartments, energy metabolism, the processes of cell division and the main techniques used to study of cells. The course will also address the topic of the origin of life on our planet and the evolution of the cell.

Examination Methods
Module: BIOLOGIA GENERALE E CELLULARE: II
-------
Module: BIOLOGIA GENERALE E CELLULARE: I
-------
Module: GENERAL AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY I and II
The exam will be divided into two parts, one at the end of the first semester and one at the end of the second semester. It will consist of a written test (multiple choice). Only students who pass the test in the first half will have access to the second part of the exam. All the others will have to complete the whole exam (regarding the program of first and second semester) in a single test. It is to the teacher to decide whether oral examination is required.

Attendance
As stated in the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2022/2023, attendance is not mandatory. However, professors may require students to attend lectures for a minimum of hours in order to be able to take the module exam, in which case the methods that will be used to check attendance will be explained at the beginning of the module.
Please refer to the Crisis Unit's latest updates for the mode of teaching.
