| Course objective :
| The course is devoted to the study of the structure and the functions of the cell, common denominator of the living matter. The modes of cell multiplication and reproduction are also examined. | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| You have to know the french language | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| 1. Morphological study of the cell 2. Osmose and membrane permeability 3. Cell energetics 4. Mitosis, cell cycle, meiosis | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| The theoreticals courses will be given in the first quadrimester, the Thursday at 8h30 until 10h15 in the amphitheatre 300 (building B7a) .
The praticals works illustrate concretly importants aspects of the theoretical course.
The horary of the pratical work is detailed during the first theoretical course. The sessions of the praticals works accur in the big room of the praticals works of the Zoology institut (building I1, 22, Van Beneden qai, Liège ) | |

| Remarks :
| The praticals works are an important help in the acquisition of the knowledge, in the acquisition of a criticism spirit and in the expension of your observation sense. To be profitable, the praticals works assistance implicate that you have study before the content ( at least a deapfull reading). Your presence in the praticals works is obligatory. All absences must be justified with a certificate. In the case of repeated absences and no justified, the student will be refused of the cell biology exam. | |
