Teaching Methodologies
The theoretical classes are aimed at the detailed presentation of the program contents. Use an expository-active methodology, appealing the direct intervention of the students, using the expected image support, where schemes and images of cellular structures will be presented and explained to the students interactively privileging the bidirectionality of the communication.
The evaluation will be done by conducting 2 evaluation moments, one of which is written and/or examination, as well as the presentation of a written work on a topic of the curricular unit.
Learning Results
The student must acquire knowledge of:
• Cell Organization
• History and evolution of knowledge of the cell.
• Differences between the two types of cell organization – prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
• Cellular Physiology.
The student must acquire skills:
• Identification of cellular components and organelles.
The student must acquire competences of:
• Description of cellular structures with knowledge of their normal physiology.
• Understanding of structural and physiological cellular changes underlying situations of disease.
