Biochemical mechanism of photosynthetic light reactions, photorespiration.
Metabolism: primary metabolites, intermediate metabolites and secondary metabolites.
Characters tissue. Systems of tissues and their classification. Meristematic tissues or cells.
Adult tissues or definitive: system parenchyma, tegument system, conducting system, segregators system and mechanical system.
Cell cycle. DNA replication, mitosis, meiosis, mutations in the DNA.
Overview of genetics: concepts of heterozygous, homozygous and hemizygous, dominant and recessive characters, genotype, phenotype and karyotype, Mendel's laws.
Genetic code, transcription, translation.
