Prerequisites for entering the course BIO 1001 ‘General Biology‘; BIO 1004 „Embryophytes“ Course aim Introduction to the morphological and anatomical diversity of fungi, algae at the cell and organism level, reproduction types and nowadays cladistic taxonomy based on molecular research, main representatives of various systematic groups of theoretical and economic importance Links between course outcomes and criteria of learning achievement evaluation Course outcomes Criteria of learning achievement evaluation Will obtain knowledge concerning: a) Possesing knowledge concisely to explore in logistic morphology, anatomy, origin, and systematics of way obtained information when studying fungi, algae, algae, fungi, their role in the nature and morphology and systematics with the purpose to importance for human; b) the most important identify species, to identify main problems and tasks fungi and algae of Lithuania; c) the most of nowadays phycology and mycology; to find out advanced classifications of algae and fungi on the species of these organisms which are the most bases of molecular biology; d) distinctive important from the theoretical and practical point of features among kingdoms, divisions and classes view of algae, fungi or plants; d) importance of algae, fungi, methods of investigation of these groups of organisms, phylogenetic and ontogenetic development of algae and fungi Will understand: a) essentials of algae and fungi Clearl and precise understanding of essentials in biology, methods of investigation, relationships Fungi and Algae Biology concerning terminology, between algae, fungi and other organisms, methods and principles of systematics, historical and relationships between algology, mycology, and modern methods of the research in the fields of other Life Sciences; b) developmental and anatomy and morphology, relationships with the other evolutionary mechanisms of various taxonomic sciences about biodiversity; of driving forces of groups of algae, fungi also factors influencing evolution, mechanisms of individual development, the these processes; c) conseption of biodiversity and role of fungi and algae in the abiotic and biotic necessity to protect it; d) uniformity of structural, environment - present state and in the future; value of functional, biochemical and molecular characters fungal and algal resources of fungi, algae; e) essentials of main research methods of Phycology, Mycology, with the purpose to explore them for the future teaching and research work; f) perspectives of Fungi, Algae Will be able: a) to deel with thalomus structure Ability to explain main ideas, concepts, life cycle of fungi and algae, internal and external stages of fungi and algae; to analyse selected groups structure of the plant cell, tissue, organ; b) to of organisms according to special theoretical tasks distinquish gymnosperms from angiosperms, and research needs. Will learn to define structural and monocots from dicots according to the structure functional properties according to the general of vegetative and reproduction organs; c) to terminology of mycology, algology; to characterise characterise main systematic groups of green peculiarities of fungi, algae cell structures, taxonomic plants according to their structure and hierarchy, names of main taxons, will learn reproduction; d) to relate knowledge about classification of fungi, algae diversity, present status, embryophytes, algae, fungi with microbial and threats and future trends, economic value of main animal data; e) to select the best model plants groups of these thalomic organisms, to define main for research, to identify taxonomical position; f) methods for fungi and algae research, to make general to manipulate easily with terminology of fungi, conclusions on topics in fungi and algae anatomy, algae and plant systematics, morphology and morphology and systematics anatomy; d) to apply knowledge for special research needs and solution of important biological problems Content (topics) Lecture courses 1.
