Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module
++ biological knowledge + knowledge of biological working methods ++ biologically relevant knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics + abstract, logical, analytical thinking + independent learning and (research-based) working + teamwork
THEORY: * To understand the fundamentals of reconstructing phylogenetic relationships * To know the cell structures, organization, and reproduction of plants  * To know the morphology and anatomy of individual species
PRACTICE: * To improve and verify the theoretical knowledge acquired from lectures and textbooks by studying the original * To train visual and tactile perception by studying various species * To learn that representations in textbooks are abstractions of a much more complex reality * To be able to criticize representations in textbooks and models * To acquire the knowledge of the function in living plants by studying preserved specimens * Learning how to follow preparation instructions * Learning that the organization of individual species may be highly variable * Preparing records or drawings from the information obtained by original specimens studied
 
Module contents
 Light microscopic methods are applied to study structures in plants. Records in the form of descriptions and drawings. Morphological structure and reproduction of various plant organization types with a focus on the structure of plant tissue. Representation of the relationships between structure and function with regard to absorption processes, transport processes, transpiration, and photosynthesis.
