This course is a cross-disciplinary course in L2 SV aimed at providing biology students with a fundamental knowledge base on plant functioning, enabling them to understand current issues in plant agricultural sciences.

The following basic concepts of Plant Physiology/Functional Biology will be studied: 

Essential experimental approaches: plant transgenesis, forward and reverse genetics

basics of autotrophy

mechanisms underlying the major stages of angiosperm development: meristem function, floral transition, fertilization.

auxin, a major hormone for plant development and their response to the abiotic environment

The practical sessions will enable students to manipulate the regulation of plant water nutrition and analyze their mineral nutrition using various biochemical assays (flame photometry, spectrophotometry).

This course is an introduction to the general concepts of scientific ecology: levels of organization, biodiversity measurement and conservation, biogeography, biotic and abiotic factors affecting biodiversity distribution and dynamics. It also provides an understanding of the methods used in scientific ecology: the value of experimentation, reflection on protocol development, data analysis, and oral and written reports on experiments.

The 10th grade computer science course taught at the high school focuses on advanced concepts in algorithms and programming:

# Tree data structures: binary trees, heaps, ABRs, priority queues

# Sort by pile, lower bound on sort

# Graph structure: representations (adjacency matrices, edge lists, neighbor lists)

# Basic algorithms (connectivity, depth-first and breadth-first search, topological sorting)

# Distance calculation (Dijkstra, implementation with heap)

# Introduction to object-oriented programming (encapsulation, late binding, classes, methods, etc.)

# Programming in Python

This course complements computer science training by introducing students to the study of information systems and databases (designing processes in an information system and managing relational databases):

# Information systems: introduction to the entity/association model, relational model, process modeling (conceptual process model, organizational process model)

# Databases: creation, manipulation, and querying of relational databases.

This module should enable students to acquire:

Basic concepts in physiology: Concept of homeostasis; levels of organization of the human body; compartments of the internal environment; study of the endocrine system; acid-base and water-mineral balance; anatomical and functional studies of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Basic concepts in immunology:

General overview of the immune system; study of T and B lymphocytes, antigen-presenting cells; study of antimicrobial immunity and complement.

The EU addresses theoretical concepts in plant biology, using the group of Spermatophytes as a model. It aims to define the concepts and specific vocabulary of morphology, anatomy, reproduction, and biological cycles.

The EU is interested in describing the morpho-anatomical characteristics of the major organizational plans of metazoans found in current and past faunas, as well as explaining their origin and the dynamics of their appearance. It is thus developing a vision of organisms based on paleontology and zoology. It will mainly address the origin of metazoans and the main divisions, namely diploblasts and triploblasts, as well as basic concepts relating to the positioning and phylogenetic relationships between taxa (mono- and paraphyly, evolutionary convergence, etc.). It is traditionally divided into lectures, tutorials that mainly aim to illustrate and support aspects related to the biodiversity of taxa, and practical work in sessions aimed at acquiring skills, particularly and necessarily in dissection.
