After the course, the student can: - map the main components of bacterial and mammalian cells and describe their main functions - recognize general structural features in biomolecules - describe how genetic information is both maintained and evolving by the time - explain how genetic information is transformed into cellular macromolecules and functions - depict the role of energy flow and metabolism inside the cell - describe the phases and basic mechanisms of cell division - explain the principles how cells interact with their environment - describe the basics of gene expression regulation - list the main components in tissues and explain the principles how tissues are organized and maintained - describe the general principles of certain key techniques in molecular biology
