<p>Laboratory, 12 hours. Requisites: course 152 or 162 (may be taken concurrently), Life Sciences 1, 2, 3, and 23L, or 7A, 7B, 7C, and 23L. Focus on whole-plant physiology and ecophysiology from biochemical and molecular processes to whole-plant function and field performance to gain understanding and appreciation of plant function, including dynamic processes of growth, development, and reproduction. Exercises provide training in approaches and instrumentation such that students become scientists, applying physiological techniques to answer questions on plant function, including use of programs such as FunAnatomy (plant anatomy) and FastPlant (growing experiment). To apply this course to the Biology upper-division major laboratory requirement, the corresponding lecture course must be completed with a passing grade. Letter grading.</p>

Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Combining rigorous, inclusive pedagogy with opportunities for co-curricular activities—including research, internships, and community engagement—the College provides students with diverse learning experiences that helps them thrive, become critical thinkers, and transform society.

College of Letters and Science

The department offers instruction at all levels of biology including regulatory and physiological processes, natural ecology and behavior of living organisms, and population and community dynamics of multiple species.
