BI 3133 - Environmental Plant Physiology

Institution:

Unity College

Subject:

Description:

Plant physiology examines the processes of growth, development, and reproduction in vascular plants, asking "How do plants work?" and "How do plants fit into their environments?" Viewing physiology from the whole-plant (as opposed to cellular) level, the course will cover basic physiology, anatomy as it relates to physiology, and will emphasize the plan t's relation to its environment throughout. Topics will include carbon balance (photosynthesis and respiration), water relations, mineral nutrition, growth and reproductive processes, plus responses to environmental stress or pollution. The labs will include experiments on photosynthesis, respiration, germination, and hormonal responses, and observation of plant growth under different environmental conditioCredits: 3 Offered Semester II Prerequisites: BI 1024, CH 1104, or consent
