Catalogue data
| Abstract | The lecture course Biology II, together with the course Biology I of the previous winter semester, is a basic introductory course into biology for students of materials sciences, of chemistry and of chemical engineering. |
| Objective | The objective of the lecture course Biology II is the understanding of form, function, and development of animals and of the basic underlying mechanisms. |
| Content | The following numbers of chapters refer to the text-book "Biology" (Campbell & Rees, 10th edition, 2015) on which the course is based. Chapters 1-4 are a basic prerequisite. The sections "Structure of the Cell" (Chapters 5-10, 12, 17) and "General Genetics" (Chapters 13-16, 18, 46) are covered by the lecture Biology I. 1. Genomes, DNA Technology, Genetic Basis of Development Chapter 19: Eukaryotic Genomes: Organization, Regulation, and Evolution Chapter 20: DNA Technology and Genomics Chapter 21: The Genetic Basis of Development 2. Form, Function, and Development of Animals I Chapter 40: Basic Principles of Animal Form and Function Chapter 41: Animal Nutrition Chapter 44: Osmoregulation and Excretion Chapter 47: Animal Development 3. Form, Function, and Develeopment of Animals II Chapter 42: Circulation and Gas Exchange Chapter 43: The Immune System Chapter 45: Hormones and the Endocrine System Chapter 48: Nervous Systems Chapter 49: Sensory and Motor Mechanisms |
| Lecture notes | The course follows closely the recommended text-book. Additional handouts may be provided by the lecturers. |
| Literature | The following text-book is the basis for the courses Biology I and II: Biology, Campbell and Rees, 10th Edition, 2015, Pearson/Benjamin Cummings, ISBN 978-3-8632-6725-4 |
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisite: Lecture course Biology I of autumn semester |
