Module title SBEP3041 Plant Physiology
Semester(s) 5th Semester
Person responsible Dr. Hafnati Rahmatan, M.Si.
Language Indonesian, English
Relation to curriculum Compulsory modules for 5th semester students. This course focuses on plant physiological processes and responses to environmental stimuli, strengthening students’ analytical abilities and supporting CPL-3 and CPL-4. It builds upon Plant Morphology and Plant Anatomy, enhancing understanding of structure-function relationships and enabling application in biology teaching contexts.
Teaching methods Group discussion
Workload 2 x 45 hours per semester, comprising:
✔ 100 minutes lecture and discussion per week
✔ 120 minutes structured tasks per week
✔ 120 minutes independent learning per week
Credit points 2 SKS = 3.34 ECTS (90 hours)
Prerequisites –
Module objectives ✔ Analyze photosynthesis and respiration processes in plants accurately and logically
✔ Understand plant growth and development processes and environmental influences
✔ Relate phytohormones to plant physiological processes such as photoperiodism, movement, vernalization, dormancy, and senescence, and provide appropriate solutions to related cases
Content This course discusses plant physiological processes related to environmental and internal factors.
