Biology II

Biology I (UC of the previous semester)
Chemistry and Biochemistry I (UC of the previous semester)

In order to achieve the objectives of the curricular unit, the teaching methodologies are based on: 1. The teacher’s exposure of contents related to the theoretical aspects of this curricular unit; 2. In oriented bibliographic research on some topics of interest; 3. In the execution of practical laboratory work related to the theme; 4. In the oral presentation and discussion of the final research product.

1. Identification of microorganisms. Know the microbial diversity and the bases for the identification of microbial groups of greatest interest to the course.
2. Plant Histology and Anatomy. Basis for Plant Identification. Know the plant diversity taking into account the morphological characteristics of the main taxonomic groups of vascular plants and taxonomic categories.
