7. Course Description
A survey of plants and their relatives, especially their functional anatomy and
morphology, physiology, evolution, diversity and utilization; practical exercises
included.
8. Course Objectives
This course is designed to give students comprehensive concepts of diversity of
life: Monera Protista, Fungi, and Plantae. Emphasis is placed on plants, their
structures (root, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits) and their life processes (mineral
nutrition and transport, growth responses and regulation of growth).
