Vegetal Physiology

Base Knowledge

Knowledge of Biology contents is recommended.

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching-learning process based: 1 -Exposition of the theoretical foundations required for the development of content; 2 – Individual or group work to resolve issues presented by the teacher or by the students formulated; 3 – Execution of laboratory practical work related to the theme; 4 Execution of laboratory practical work related to the theme.

Learning Results

1. Knows the importance of water and its movement in the continuum soil-plant – atmosphere; 2 -Understand the mechanisms involved in the acquisition , circulation and use of mineral elements by plants; 3 -Know the processes used by plants to store light energy into organic compounds of high energy; 4 – Quantifies the active photosynthetic energy and the ability of plants to fix CO2 from the atmosphere; 5 – The mechanism of translocation; 6 – Knows the nature and characteristics of plant hormones and the role in the regulation of plant development; 7 – Know the basic principles of plant organs response to external stimuls; 8 – Knows what the determinants of vegetation distribution on the surface of the Eart.
