BOTANY AND TAXONOMY OF PLANTS

About this Course

Course Description

This course will introduce students to basic plant classification, morphology, anatomy and physiology. Students also learn how plant adapt to the environment and functions of cell, tissue and organ structures in the plants.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Conduct laboratory technique relating to plant science
2 ) Describe the different types of cells, tissues and organs and their basic life process in plants relating to their roles and functions in nature.
3 ) Apply the basic concept of plant taxonomy and classification in practice
