Remedial Biology (Theory)

BPHT1106(2-0-0)

Course Objectives

The biology study aims to learn and understand the components of living world, structure and functional system of plant and animal kingdom as it is the application of theory to the real world

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to
know the classification and salient features of five kingdoms of life.
understand the basic components of anatomy & physiology of plant & animal with
special reference to human.
