The "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course follows on from the S1 "From Molecules to Cells" course, which laid the structural foundations of living organisms. In this course, students will be introduced to the basics of biochemistry, replication, transcription, translation, intracellular movements and bioenergetics.
This UE will be supplemented by UE HAV204V for L1 SVSE students.
It will be followed by L1 TEE and L1 Chemistry.
Experimentation and earth dynamics
Study level
BAC +1

Faculty of Science
This course introduces the concept and practical application of experimental studies in the earth sciences, from instrumental measurements in the field to quantitative analysis, modeling and interpretation of the data acquired. In practical terms, the course is structured around a physical measurement method, gravimetry, applied to terrestrial dynamics. Part of the experiments carried out in the field focus on the overall structure of the Earth (measurement of g and its vertical gradient to determine mass) and its dynamics (elastic deformation by tidal phenomena). A second part is dedicated to local imaging of the subsurface in relation to water resources (imaging and mass balance in relation to sub-surface water storage). A significant part of the course is devoted to measurement analysis and modeling.

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 covered in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and will consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will enable us to solve problems in Mendelian genetics, including sex and epistasis effects, during the tutorials in this course.

Evolution of life, climate and oceans
ECTS
4 credits

Faculty of Science
This course will cover a number of disciplines, providing a basic overview of the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as their evolution since the planet's origin. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be :
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How is climate studied? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere? Faced with today's global challenges, tools are being developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impact on terrestrial and marine environments, from the past to the future, notably through the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a planetary scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a key method for characterizing both anthropogenic and natural footprints.
The main objectives are to understand how these envelopes interacted with the Geosphere in the past (covered in greater depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to be able to analyze a natural landscape today in terms of its evolution over geological time.
