The "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course is the continuation of the S1 course "From Molecules to Cells" which will have laid the structural foundations of life. In this course, students will be introduced to the basics of biochemistry, replication, transcription, translation, intracellular movements and bioenergetics.
This UE will be completed by the UE HAV204V for the L1 SVSE.
It will be followed by the L1 TEE and the L1 Chemistry.
Experimentation and earth dynamics

The UE introduces the notion and the implementation of experimental studies in Earth sciences, from instrumental measurements in the field to quantitative analysis, modeling and interpretation of the acquired data. In practice, the UE is based on a physical measurement method, gravimetry, applied to the Earth's dynamics. A part of the experiments carried out in the field is focused on the global terrestrial structure (measurement of g and its vertical gradient for the determination of the mass) and its dynamics (elastic deformation by tidal phenomenon). A second part is dedicated to local imaging of the subsurface in relation to water resources (imaging and mass balance in relation to subsurface water storage). An important part of the course is dedicated to the analysis of the measurements and their modeling.

Life cycle 1

Faculty of Science
In the lectures of this course, we describe each stage of the life cycle, starting with embryonic development (including organ development, cell differentiation and growth processes), through the acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and ending with fertilization. This life cycle is discussed in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and allows you to consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will allow us to solve Mendelian genetics problems including sex and epistasis effects during the tutorials of this course.

Evolution of life, climate and oceans
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
Through this course, several disciplines will be covered in order to provide a reminder and/or the basics concerning: the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as and above all, their evolution since the origin of the planet. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How to study the climate? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere. Faced with contemporary global issues, tools are developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impacts on terrestrial and marine environments from the past to the future via the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a global scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a central method to characterize both the anthropogenic and natural footprint.
The main objectives are to understand the interactions of these envelopes with the Geosphere (covered in more depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to know how to analyze a current natural landscape with respect to its evolution over geological time.
