Learning outcomes: Knowledge: student gains general knowledge of the plant biology) with the special attention paid on the organs, tissues and intracellular organelles which are used as vegetable raw materials as well as plants reproduction cycle and processes of seeds and fruits formation as well as their structure and botanical classification; he knows inner structure (histology and anatomy) of plant organs at various stage of ontogenesis; he knows plant species important for food production and their key diagnostic features. Skills: he can recognize the most popular field weeds, meadow and cultivated plants as well as define their value as food, including toxic effects for animals and human. thus he gains skilling for general assessment of the safety of green forage selection; he is to prepare microscopic slides and use microscope for biological observation;
