Sinopsis Kursus
Biologi I (PNAP0133)
Kursus ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan pengetahuan pelajar dalam Sains Biologi. Kursus ini meliputi pelbagai topik seperti berikut: Kimia yang memberi tumpuan kepada pemahaman tentang atom, molekul, ion, ikatan, air, karbohidrat, protein, lipid, asid nukleik dan tindak balas kimia dalam proses metabolik; Struktur & fungsi sel, komunikasi sel dan pergerakan merentasi membran; Respirasi sel dan penapaian; Fotosintesis dalam tumbuhan C3, C4 dan CAM; Struktur & fungsi tumbuhan termasuk pertumbuhan, perkembangan, pengangkutan, pembiakan, hormon dan tindak balas; Struktur & fungsi binatang termasuk termoregulasi, sistem pernafasan, sistem peredaran darah, sistem pencernaan, sistem saraf, sistem otot, sistem keimunan, sistem endokrin; Pembiakan dan perkembangan haiwan termasuk anatomi pembiakan, gametogenesis & kawalan hormon, perkembangan embrio dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan; dan tingkah laku haiwan termasuk gerakan dan komunikasi. Pelajar akan dinilai dengan kuiz, tugasan, persembahan, laporan makmal, peperiksaan pertengahan semester dan akhir semester. Kaedah pengajaran termasuk kuliah kumpulan kecil, tutorial, eksperimen makmal, pembelajaran bebas dan pembelajaran berasaskan masalah.
Course Synopsis
Biology I (PNAP0133)
This course aims to enhance the students’ understanding and knowledge in Biological Sciences. The course covers various topics as follows: Chemistry focusing on understanding of atoms, molecules, ions, bonds, water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and chemical reactions in metabolic processes; Cell structure & function, cell communication and movement across membranes; Cellular respiration and fermentation; Photosynthesis in C3, C4 and CAM plants ; Plant structure & function including growth, development, transport, reproduction, hormones and responses; Animal structure & function including thermoregulation, respiratory system, circulatory system, excretory system, digestive system, nervous system, muscular system, immune system, endocrine system; Animal reproduction and development including reproductive anatomy, gametogenesis & hormonal control, embryonic development and factors that influence development; and animal behavior including movement and communication. Students will be assessed by quizzes, assignments, presentations, lab reports, mid-semester and final semester examinations. Teaching methods include small group lecture, tutorial, laboratory experiments, independent learning and problem-based learning.
