- TEACHING OUTCOMES
Teaching outcomes |
The purpose of the course is the study of the morphology and anatomy of higher plants. In detail description of the plant cells, plant tissues or plant organs in order to learn the structure of morphological diversity and environmental adaptations of vascular plants. At the end of the course the students will be able to identify and describe macroscopic and microscopic morphological characters of higher plants. |
