Description

        1.                                                                  

Microbiology with fundamentals of Virology

The course includes the study of the basic concepts and methods of microbiology and virology. Students, using microorganisms in modern biotechnologies, develop knowledge about the metabolism of bacteria, their growth, reproduction, taxonomy, health care, environmental protection. The student orients and systematizes the acquired knowledge and skills in the field of microbiology and virology, depending on the characteristics of the vital activity of microorganisms, and also uses them in the future profession of a teacher

2. 

Applied Biology with the Basics of Soil Science

The course explains the connection with other subjects by introducing students to natural sciences and agriculture through theoretical and practical training. Students form the necessary knowledge for the organization of work at the school experimental site. Students will learn to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of soil, environmental factors and their significance for plants, as well as the evolutionary significance of morphological structures of plants and will be able to interpret the results of biological research.

3.

Flora and fauna of the world

The course examines the laws of the distribution of living organisms on the planet, geographical aspects of flora and fauna, structural and functional foundations of ecosystems. The course also examines the evolutionary development of living organisms in order to understand and explain their geographical distribution. Forms systematic knowledge of students about the flora and fauna of the environment, floristic, faunal, biotic migrations of the continent, modern zoning of the world ocean, the main types of biomes.
