Lecture enhances basic knowledge in all area of modern biology with focus at biochemical principles of biological processes. Aim of this lecture is to briefly repeat a scope of biology from high-school, however, we will look more deeply into molecular aspects of biological processes; therefore we will spend more time on cellular biology and description of biomacromolecule's interactions than on systematic description of the living, and by this to create a basis for later better understanding of detailed biochemical processes which will the students learn in following lectures in their studies.

Lectures are given in Czech.
