This summer course delves into the fascinating world of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, examining the origins, evolution, and ecological roles of these organisms. Key topics include the distinction between Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, the endosymbiotic theory explaining the emergence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, and the classifications of major eukaryotic groups like Stramenopiles, Archaeplastids, Fungi, and Animals. Additionally, we will explore ecological concepts such as communities, populations, and biomes, highlighting the intricate interconnections within ecosystems.
