LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Recognize the most important anatomical and morphological features of plants
2. Link the anatomical and morphological features of plants with environmental conditions they live in
3. Link the anatomical and morphological structure of plants with their life processes
4. Use the knowledge on anatomy and morphology in comparing the most important systematic groups of plants
5. Apply learned anatomical and morphological features of plants in the process of their determination
6. Recognize most common plant species
