Basic course in physiology and cell biology of plants

Education facts

Code: 6BI046

The course focus on the morphology, physiology and life processes of plants. In particular, the structure and function of eukaryotic cells are dealt with and provide the prerequisites for understanding the connection between different levels of organismal organization from cell biology to ecophysiology. The course provides basic knowledge about the development and how plants develop in response to the current and changing environmental conditions, in terms of plant organs, form, energy processes and physiology. The course introduces the fundamental importance of plants for the global sustainable development goals. The course also deals with how organisms such as plants adapt their physiology to a life in different, often extreme, environments. The course contains theoretical part that is examined in a written exam. The practical part includes special laboratory work with consideration of lab safety regulations.
