課程概述

(最新課程綱要與授課內容請參照英語版本的課程頁面)
This is an introductory course on the diversity of eukaryotes in different aspects — from genomes to ecological interactions. Major topics include evolutionary relationships and history, cell structures and functions, and importance for various ecosystems and humanity. The emphasis is on eukaryotes that are not land plants, animals, or fungi — namely protists (algae and non-photosynthetic microbial eukaryotes, including diverse amebae, flagellates and shelled microbes). 

課程目標
The student will acquire a basic understanding of:
1. Evolutionary origin and history of eukaryotes and their organelles
2. Diversity of eukaryotic genomes, cells, and organismic biology
3. Major eukaryotic lineages and important eukaryotic microbes
4. Relationships between eukaryotic microbes and Earth, ecosystems, humans, and other organisms 
課程要求
General Biology or equivalent courses
Genomics, Cell Biology, Evolutionary Biology, and Ecology are relevant, but not required.
