Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 : What are the benefits of this course?
A1 : Students will be able to describe plants using morphology and anatomical characteristics. They will also learn the types and functions of different cells in plants, the physiological processes that happen inside the plant and how plants adapt to their environment.
