BIOL 441 - Plant Physiology Description: A critical study of the physiological processes of plants including water relations, photosynthesis, mineral assimilation, and responses to the environment.
Prerequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 183 and BIOL 213 and CHEM 361.
Credits: (5)
Learner Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Students will be able to describe plant water relations and transport processes and predict movement of water in a biological system
- Students will be able to explain how light energy is converted, stored and transported as chemical energy through photosynthetic CO2 assimilation processes for a variety of plant species.
- Students will be able to describe how plants respond to environmental and internal signals and compare and contrast these responses to those of animals
- Students will be able to describe cellular growth and fundamental biochemical processes for plant cells
- Students will be able to describe how plants assimilate minerals and identify the significance of these processes to other organisms including humans
- Students will be able to carry out an investigative experiment in plant physiology, compile and analyze their data and communicate their results through a scientific paper
Learner Outcomes Approval Date: 1/21/16
