Informations du cours

Welcome to Biology 225. This course provides an overview of basic physiological and morphological aspects of plants and animals that allow survival and reproduction. The section on animals will begin with an exploration of some of the evolutionary processes that led to today’s extant animal phyla and animal architecture. Our in-depth coverage of animal form and function will cover all organ systems in considerable detail. The section on plants will also begin with a description of the evolutionary processes that led to today’s extant plant taxa. Once the evolutionary landscape of the plant kingdom is established, we will proceed onto plant form and function. By the end of this section, you will know how plants are able to grow, acquire and transport nutrients, reproduce, and respond to stimuli.
