Prerequisites | keine |
Skills to be acquired in this module | ++ biological knowledge + knowledge of biological working methods ++ biologically relevant knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics + abstract, logical, analytical thinking + independent learning and (research-based) working + teamwork THEORY: * To understand the fundamentals of reconstructing phylogenetic relationships * To know the phylogenetic system and ground pattern of high-ranking ancestral animal species * To know the cell structures, organization, and reproduction of plants and animals * To know the morphology and anatomy of individual species PRACTICE: * To improve and verify the theoretical knowledge acquired from lectures and textbooks by studying the original * To train visual and tactile perception by studying various species * To learn that representations in textbooks are abstractions of a much more complex reality * To be able to criticize representations in textbooks and models * To acquire the knowledge of the function in living animals and plants by studying preserved specimens * Learning how to follow preparation instructions * Learning that the organization of individual species may be highly variable * Preparing records or drawings from the information obtained by original specimens studied |
Module contents | GENERAL: Light microscopic methods are applied to study structures in plants and animals. Records in the form of descriptions and drawings. BOTANY: Morphological structure and reproduction of various plant organization types with a focus on the structure of plant tissue. Representation of the relationships between structure and function with regard to absorption processes, transport processes, transpiration, and photosynthesis. ZOOLOGY: Morphological structure of animal tissues. Biology of selected partial taxa and metazoans. Principles of phylogenetic systematics and the phylogenetic position in the animal system of the taxa dealt with. |
