BIOLOGY I
(objectives)
The course provides the basic knowledge of the biology of the different living groups (bacteria, algae, yeasts and other fungi, lichens, higher plants, animals) that are of importance in the food industry, tracing morphological, structural, metabolic, evolutionary and ecological. In exercises will be shown the peculiar elements and characterize the various taxa.

(syllabus)
The animal cell and tissues. Presentation of the main animal taxa in their phylogenetic relationships and from an evolutionary perspective, from unicellularity (ancestral protists) to the evolution of multicellularity (Metazoa) and its diversified organization during evolution. The animal groups (phyla) are presented with their morpho-functional adaptations and their ecology, with attention to use in human nutrition and possible problems related to the food sector (such as food contaminants).
