Outline (in English)

The goal of this class is to acquire the ability to understand "life" from the perspectives of "organic compounds," its constitutive elements, and the "system" formed by their interactions. Initially, ensure a solid understanding of organic compounds such as proteins, lipids, and sugars, which compose cells, followed by learning the replication, transcription, and translation of genetic information, as well as the roles of energy acquisition systems and biological membranes, as per the textbook. Then, grasp the essence of life systems from a broader perspective, focusing on their "resilience," "hierarchy," and "emergence." This understanding will lead to the ability to comprehend the evolution and diseases of organisms from these viewpoints. Classes always include explanations that are conscious of the time axis, intertwining different scales such as 17 billion years since the universe's birth, 4 billion years since life began, several thousand years since the birth of human culture, and a few hundred years since the advent of modern natural science. Additionally, to experience the cutting-edge of life sciences, exercises involving various public databases will be used during lessons. Basic topics like the substances that make cells, mechanisms of genetic information transfer, biological membranes, metabolism, and enzymatic reactions will be taught according to the textbook, but recent findings not included in the textbook will also be introduced. Feedback from participants will be incorporated, utilizing the learning support system.
