Course Objective

To explain to students the basis of the membrane principle, to form knowledge about the structure and functions of the main parts of the cell, to glorify the structural features of membrane components. To create a general idea about chemicals in the structure of cell membranes, to explain the basis of the principle of membrane structure, to form knowledge about the structure and functions of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates. To create an idea about the transfer of substances and information in the membranes of the eukaryotic cell, to reveal the basis of the principle of membrane transport, to form knowledge about the transmembrane transmission of small and large molecules, to explain intercellular connections and communications.
