BI 326 - Plant Biology

Institution:

Millikin University

Subject:

Biology

Description:

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 will be devoted to independent projects on a problem of interest. A paper, including pertinent library research, and presentation of the project, are required. This course counts as a Biology category 1,2, or 3 class, and satisfies one credit of off campus learning for the MPSL. Pre-requisite, BI 108/158 or consent of instructor.
