BI 326 - Plant Biology
Credit(s): 4
The purpose of this course is to understand the vital role plants play in the environment as sources of oxygen, energy, medicines, and other products, and of the complex and diverse ways plants solve problems of life. Five unifying themes of botany will be returned to throughout the course: Plants consist of organized parts, exchange energy with the environment, respond to and adapt to their environment, reproduce, and share a common ancestry. The laboratory is an integral part of the course and has one extended weekend field trip. A large portion of the lab is devoted to independent projects on a problem of interest. A paper, including pertinent library research, and presentation of the project, are required. Satisfies one credit of off campus learning for the MPSL. Systems Biology Content class.
Prerequisite(s): BI 105 /BI 155 or consent of instructor.
Offered: Fall
