BIOL 221 - Plant Biology
4 Credits
Almost all life we know of depends upon photosynthesis in one way or another. You cannot really understand life without understanding the organisms that use this process to create organic matter from the physical world. This course explores both who does photosynthesis and the variety of ways that they do it. While the major emphasis is placed on the higher plants’ morphology, physiology, ecology, evolution and diversity, there will also be an introduction to ferns and mosses and lichens, some algae, and even the photosynthetic bacteria! Three hours lecture. Two hours laboratory per week to reinforce lecture topics. Laboratory fee: $75. (LAS) (SI)
Prerequisite(s): An introduction to Chemistry and Biology. Either 1) BIOL 117 - Introduction to Evolution and Kingdoms or BIOL 110 - General Biology and first-term college Chemistry, or 2) a B or better in high school Biology and Chemistry.
