Plant Cell Course
Build strong knowledge in plant cell biology by exploring vacuoles, turgor pressure, and chloroplast changes during drought and varying light. Plan, run, analyse, and report microscopy experiments to boost your skills in biological research and writing clear publications for Ugandan and global contexts.

What will I learn?
This course offers a clear overview of plant leaf cell structures, focusing on how vacuoles, chloroplasts, cell walls, and membranes react to water levels and light. Learners will plan basic microscopy experiments, set treatments, gather data, and create simple reports with explanations, diagrams, and reasons for choosing suitable plants, ready to use in their work.
