BIO-350 Plant Biology – Form, Function, and Ecology
This course investigates plant structure and function exploring morphology, physiology, reproduction, ecology, and the evolution of major groups. This includes examining water relations, photosynthesis, respiration, growth, and interactions that determine the relationships between plants and their physical and biological environments. This course will also explore the relationships between humans and plants as food, medicine, fuel, fibers, and dyes. Laboratories will involve original research design, data analysis, discussion of literature, presentation of ideas in a variety of formats, and field-oriented components emphasizing plant identification and ecology.
