Objectives
Objectives
It is intended that students acquire skills that allow them to identify and characterize the cellular structural organization, as well as the mechanisms associated with biochemical and bioenergetic functionality, in order to enable knowledge bases to develop skills in future curricular units. Defining the learning objectives (LO), it is intended that students who attend this CU: OA1) understand and discriminate the role and function of different cellular components and cellular dynamics; OA2) understand the interrelationship established between the different cell compartments; OA3) describe the intrinsic chemical reactions associated with different metabolic pathways of energy production; OA4) understand the limiting and conditioning factors of energy production through different metabolic pathways and OA5) understand the relevance and applicability of the contents of the discipline in research applied to Sport Biology.

Assessment
Assessment
A avaliação é contínua e é levada a cabo nos termos do Regulamento Geral de Avaliação da Universidade Lusófona. A classificação final é determinada arredondando às unidades o valor da média aritmética ponderada das classificações obtidas nos momentos de avaliação. Para a aprovação a classificação final terá que ser > ou = a 9.5 valores.
Os estudantes que não obtenham aprovação poderão submeter-se a exame na época de recurso. O exame de recurso (prova escrita) incidirá sobre a totalidade dos CP.
