Botany and Plant Physiology

Base Knowledge

nothing to mention

Teaching Methodologies

Formal exposition.
Field trips for observation and collection of material and information.
Execution of practical work in the laboratory and in the field.
Research and application of specialized bibliographic information by the student.

Learning Results

1. Refer to and summarise the basics of botanical knowledge in the areas of anatomy, morphology, physiology, diversity and phylogeny, including theoretical knowledge and visualisation of examples in the field or laboratory.
2. List and apply the principles and methods of research in the area of the CU, including examples in the field or laboratory and bibliographical research.
3. Interconnect the learning in this CU to acquire an integrated understanding of how plants work and be able to subsequently seek greater and more sustainable productivity, including examples, bibliographical research and challenges posed during lessons.

Program

A1. Descriptive Botany: histology, anatomy and morphology; examples of plant uses and specific characteristics
A2. Plant Physiology: water, respiratory and photosynthetic metabolism; nutrition; genetic and hormonal regulation of development
A3. Phylogeny and Diversity: main taxonomic groups and diversity recognition and identification
B. Practical application of knowledge: identification of plants and physiology topics (simultaneously with A1, A2 and A3).
