Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to teach the structure and organelles of the plant cell; to teach cell division and reproduction types; to introduce plant tissues and organs at the morphological-anatomical level; and to provide a holistic perspective on plants by explaining flower, pollination, fertilization, seed, and fruit processes.

Course Content

Plant and animal cells; prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; cell membrane, cell wall, and organelles; mitosis and meiosis; sexual and asexual reproduction; plant tissues (meristem, parenchyma, protective, vascular, secretory, supporting); morphology, anatomy, and metamorphosis of root, stem, and leaf; flower structure, pollination, fertilization, seed, and fruit formation.

Name of Lecturer(s)
Learning Outcomes
1.Compare plant and animal cells; distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures; explain the structure-function characteristics of cell membrane and cell wall.
2.Identify cell organelles (ER, Golgi, ribosome, mitochondria, plastids, vacuole, nucleus) and explain the function of each in the cell.
3.Compare the stages of mitosis and meiosis; explain sexual and asexual reproduction types with examples.
4.Classify plant tissues (meristem, parenchyma, protective, vascular, secretory, supporting); establish the relationship between the structural characteristics and function of each tissue.
5.Describe the morphological and anatomical structure of root, stem, and leaf; compare metamorphosis types observed in these organs.
6.Explain flower structure, pollination and fertilization mechanisms, seed and fruit formation processes; distinguish seed and fruit types.
