Animal and Plant Biology
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The learning objectives are:
- to provide knowledge regarding chemical and biological characteristics of living organisms, particularly regarding plant organisms;
- to provide knowledge of the morpho-functional characteristics of plant organisms;
- to show how the morphology, function and behaviour of animals become adapted to the environment through evolution;
- to prepare students for the courses that require knowledge of plant and/or animal biology at the system and organism levels.
