Program

The program will include the following topics:
1. Introduction to biology and the living world. Fundamental characteristics of living matter: complexity, capacity for growth, capacity for self-reproduction, adaptation to the environment. The biological importance of water
2. Biological macromolecules: structure and function of fats, sugars and proteins.
3. Nucleic acids: function and structure. Flow of information in living matter: DNA as hereditary material. Central dogma of biology. General information on the structure of the eukaryotic gene.
4. Transcription and translation: notes on mRNA transcription and maturation mechanisms, ribosome structure, tRNA structure. The genetic code: translation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
5. Cell organization. Cell theory: fundamental properties of cells. The prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. Single and multicellular organisms.
6. Compartmentalization of eukaryotic cells: description and function (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, nuclear envelope, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton).
7. Biological membranes: structure and function of biological membranes. Outline of membrane transport and cell communication mechanisms.
8. Signal transduction. Examples of development, pathogenesis and carcinogenesis. Outline of cell death: necrosis and apoptosis
9. Cell division processes: mitosis and meiosis.
10. Stem cells and tissue regeneration.

Didactic methods

The teaching method chosen consists of classroom lectures during which the contents foreseen in the program will be treated. The teacher will provide teaching material to supplement the classroom lectures, uploaded on moodle.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will consist of a written test with questions focused on the topics listed in the biology program. The proposed questions will focus on all parts of the program carried out in class. The task will be divided into 10 multiple choice questions (score for each correct answer: 2 points; points will not be subtracted for any incorrect answers) and 3 open-ended questions (maximum score for each correct answer: 3.5 points). The overall evaluation of the answers to the questions is expressed in 30ths.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The questions require knowledge of scientific terminology in the biological field, the ability to process and connect the concepts and knowledge of biology learned during the course. To facilitate the understanding of the contents and methods of the exam, sample questions of the exam will be discussed in the classroom with the students. To pass the exam, students will have to demonstrate that they have learned the inherent concepts: - the structure and function of macromolecules, - the fundamental differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their vital mechanisms, - morphology, functions and general organization of cells.
