In this four lecture series, we&#8217;ll first learn about the structure-function of plants and of plant cells. Then we&#8217;ll try to understand how plants grow and develop, making such complex structures as flowers. Once we know how plants grow and develop, we&#8217;ll then delve into understanding photosynthesis &#8211; how plants take carbon dioxide from the air and water from soil, and turn this into oxygen for us to breathe<br \/>\nand sugars for us to eat.  In the last lecture we&#8217;ll learn about the fascinating, important and controversial science behind genetic engineering in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t taken it already, you may also be interested in my other course &#8211; What A Plant Knows, which examines how plants see, smell, hear and feel their environment: https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/plantknows.<\/p>\n<p>In order to receive academic credit for this course you must successfully pass the academic exam on campus.
