Depending on the need and your interests, you may work at the subcellular, cellular, tissue, organ, or whole plant level. As a result, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of plant cell structure and function. In this course, we will start with the molecular and subcellular organization of a single plant cell. Subsequently, we will investigate tissue levels of organization and function. Emphasis will be placed on not only teaching the structural aspects but also discussing the functions of a plant cell, tissue, and organ. <br><b><br>COURSE OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES: </b><br>(i) Provide an understanding of the structure of a typical plant cell and its organelles<br>(ii) Provide anatomical descriptions of plant tissues and organs <br>(iii) Demonstrate the complexity and orderliness of the organization found in higher plants. <br>(iv) Describe the functions of plant cell organelles, tissues, and organs. <br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p></div></body></html>
