Learning unit contents
This course provides a summary of the Plant & Animal Biology courses on the schedule of blocs 1 & 2 of the studies of Bachelor in Biology. The aim is to provide basic knowledge to students who followed a different cursus so that they are able to understand the other Biology courses on their program.
Animal
s.o.
Plant Biology
The course consists in two main parts.
Part one is based on 3 keywords (the title of the course) : 'Biology', 'Plant', 'Pluricellular'. These words are used as a guideline to explain the specific traits of plant cells, tissues, and organs. Functional aspects are included such as photosynthesis.
Part two describes important groups such as algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Special emphasis is laid on evolutionary aspects of vegetative organisms and reproduction.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of this course is to provide basic knowledge in Biology, so that students who are registered in Master BBMC or BOE but have a transition program to follow can understand the complementary courses.

Plant Biology
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge in plant biology, so that students can understand the course of Plant Physiology that is on their schedule for the second quadrimestre.

Plant Biology
Courses are given ex cathedra.
Practicals are organised in 4 thematic half-days on plant cell, photosynthesis, plant anatomy and reproduction.
A "hunt" is organized with the QuoVidi application (http://www.bota.quovidi.xyz/). Students receive "quests" and have to upload pictures of some botanical stuctures. The aim is that students learn organography by an enjoyable way.
