Short description:	Students learn how to create simple microsopic preparations, how to observe, analyze and describe the image seen in order to better understand the structure and functioning of the various organisms from the world of plants and animals, to distinguish between general and specific characteristics or between the similarities and the differences.
Full description:	1.Construction and working principle of a light microscope. Comparison of Procaryota and Eucaryota. Plant and animal cell structure (cells organelles and their function). Cell division: mitosis and meiosis. 2.Plant cell organelles and their function. Cell wall and its modifications. Structure and properities of membranes. Storage substances. Plasmolysis and recovery. 3.Structure and function of plant tissues. 4.Primary and secondary structure of roots and steams. Modifications of the roots and shoots (monocotyledons and dicotyledons) 5.Leaf anatomy and morphology and its modifications (pine needle, monocotyledones and dicotyledones) 6.Characteristic of bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms. Structure and life cycle of their selected representatives. 7.Angiosperms plants and their life cycle. The type of flowers, inflorescences and fruits. 8.Characteristic of animal cell. Elements of external and internal structure of the protists, sponges and cnidarians. 9.General characteristics, elements of the external and internal structures of flatworms (turbellarians, flukes and tapeworms) and roundworms (rotifers, nematodes). Life cycle of some parasitic flatworm and roundworm species. 10.General chracteristics, elements of external and internal structures of segmented worms (Polychaeta, Oligochaeta and Hirudinoidea) and molluscs (Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Cephalopoda) 11.General charcteristics, elements of external and internal structures of Artropoda (crustaceans, arachnids, insects) 12.Echinoderms and lower Chordata structures (Crinoidea, Holothurioidea, Echinoidea, Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Tunicata, Acrania) 13.Animal tissues – structure and functions 14.Overview of the main groups of vertebrates (Cyclostomata, Pisces and Amphibia). Differentiation in the external and internal structures 15.Overview of the main groups of vertebrates (Reptilia, Aves and Mammalia). Internal and external structures.
