| Course Contents |
| Climatic changes affect living life and cause changes in their structures. These changes are clearly visible, especially in trees and shrubs that are connected to the soil with their roots. The content of the course is the changes that occur in the structures of plants in terms of organs such as leaves and stems and transmission systems, physiological activities, growth and development. |
