2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO's)
a. Knowledge and Understanding
By the end of this program,the graduates of the Chemistry and Botany program should be able to:
a.1 Describe the general properties of plant kingdom which can proceed from two ap-proaches
1) statistic which is concerned with forms and structures
2) Dynamic which is concerned with function ( metabolism , productivity ).
a.2 State factor affecting growth and distribution of plants.
a.3 Describe the of properties plant are concerned with the description and arrangement of living and plant species (taxonomy and systematic)
a.4 Describe ecology, vegetation, plant interaction factor affecting of plant community methods of studying vegetation to get knowledge and understanding about the flow and cycle of the energy and resources.
a.5 Describe host parasite relationship as well as diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi.Microbial metabolism as well as different microbial transformation.
a.6 state chemical composition of the plant cell , different types of stress, different types of media for isolation and identification of microorganism
