Please note, the lectures are given in czech language only.

The course provides the essential information of cell biology (cell organization, infrastructure, function of the particular structures, and research methodology). The arrangement of the lecture follows modern textbooks, Alberts et al.: Molecular Biology of the Cell či Lodish et al.: Molecular Cell Biology.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: doc. RNDr. František Půta, CSc. (25.02.2021)

The exam will require knowledge, concepts and their relationships, traceable in the recommended literature, in the scope of the lectured material. High school knowledge is  assumed automatically.

The exam is organized as a written test; the student has the option of an oral examination after meeting the specified point limit. In the test, you choose the correct answers from four given answers, where any number of answers can be correct or incorrect (multiple choice test). If you mark all the correct and only the correct answers, you get 5 points, if we agree in three cases you get 3 points. Match in one or no answer is not evaluated. The "good" grade limit is around fifty percent of points (max. 150). There are 60 minutes of pure time for the test.
