Course Plant Physiology

Course Description

This course outlines three basic concepts and their applications, namely plants and their environment; plant metabolism; and plant growth and development. Plants and the environment studies the relationship between plants and water, mineral nutrients, and transport processes in plants, including the factors that influence them, such as the opening and closing of stomata and transpiration. Metabolism includes respiration, photosynthesis, enzymes, nitrogen and fat metabolism in plants. Growth and development discusses the control of genes on growth and development, hormones, movement, morphogenesis, photoperiodism, vernalization, dormancy and senescence and the factors that influence them. Plant Physiology studies are accompanied by various process skills (minds on activity and hands on activity) that will be used to solve problems in the field of plant physiology and their applications to support the growth of the spirit of ecopreneurship, researchers and quality control in the field of plant physiology. Learning is packaged with a student-certified learning approach using various methods according to the characteristics of the material such as presentations, discussions, and practice or other learning strategies such as finding concepts, making resumes, etc.
