Course Objectives The course aims : - Understanding of plant cell structure and function;
- To provide students with a knowledge of plant structure (Morphology and Anatomy);
- To provide students with a knowledge of plant physiological processes;
- To develop practical skills in studying different plants tissues;
- To give students experimental skills in plant physiology;
- To develop skills in using light microscopy for examining different plant tissues

Learning Outcomes After successful  completion of the course, the student will be able to:
  1. Recall fundamental aspects regarding phylogenetic relationships, morphology, anatomy and physiology of plants
  2. Evaluate the influence of physiological processes on the interaction of plants and environment
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of the structure of plants from cells and tissues to organs
  4. Demonstrate knowledge physiological processes in plants and Skills with application of experiments studying physiological processes
  5. Recall the concepts related to issues of anatomy and physiology of plants.
Teaching Methods Class presentations and discussions with examples will be held online through Microsoft TEAMS. online Active tutorial sessions for engaged learning. Team assignments. Team projects that involve real data, computer analysis, summary, interpretation and reporting.
