The emphasis of the manual is on an in-depth investigation of physiological principles and the biochemistry of plants. The goals of the exercises in this lab manual are to teach students to master laboratory skills, to use and understand the use of instruments, and to develop and work with scientific data. The experiments teach the procedures and principles that plant physiologists use in their labs, such as assaying, purifying, and identification.
Emphasis is placed on the scientific method and investigative lab work.
