Biological and physical sciences (2015/2016)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
------------------------
MM: BIOCHIMICA
------------------------
Knowing the molecular processes that underlie functions of cell and organism. Knowing how occur the biochemical transformations of metabolism, and how they are regulated. Knowing bioenergetics and metabolism of the cell and of the entire organism.
------------------------
MM: FISICA APPLICATA
------------------------
Familiarization with the basic concepts of mechanics and fluidodynamics.
------------------------
MM: BIOLOGIA APPLICATA
------------------------
The course purpose is to provide the basic knowledge about living organism characteristics through the acquisition of the fundamental concepts of functional and molecular principles of cellular processes and of human genetics (mode of transmission of hereditary characters and molecular basis of genetic diseases).
------------------------
MM: GENETICA MEDICA
------------------------
Basic knowledge of human genetics. Understanding of the principles of hereditary transmission of normal and abnormal traits, as well as the origin of biological hereditary variation.
