The color photos enable students to more readily identify structures and organisms studied in the lab. The 21 exercises in this manual begin with cells and cell functions, then proceed to structure and function of higher plants with a survey of plant and plant-like organisms. Questions and illustrations throughout the manual guide students in observing materials and applying observations. This laboratory manual is easily adaptable to many botany textbooks, and is designed to encourage students to think logically and independently. In this popular manual for introductory botany, exercises emphasize careful observation and hands-on experiences.
Students first explore plant structure, then plant processes, and finally a survey of plants.
