Presentation
In this curricular unit, students will learn about the physical and chemical processes that occur in plants, on the importance of water for plants, transpiration, photosynthetic and respiratory processes and vascular transport system in plants. They will also study the plant responses (or interactions) to abiotic factors, such as plant responses to drought conditions or low temperatures and salinity.

Objectives
Objectives
The learning outcomes of the course unit include the acquisition of capacity and competence to conceptualize and solve problems in science and biology, in particular of plant physiology as well as science communication skills and individual and group work. The ability to critically understand the plant functioning and the effects of environmental factors on plant physiology is also expected.

Assessment
Assessment
P1 - Componente Teórica:
60 % da Nota Final (Média de 2 testes ou frequência global no decorrer do semestre)
P2 - Componente Prática:
40 % da Nota Final (Relatórios científicos das aulas práticas (ponderação 40%) + Discussão oral presencial dos Relatórios científicos das aulas práticas (ponderação 60%))
Nota mínima para aprovação em P1 e P2 - 10 valores.
Caso não obtenha aprovação na avaliação contínua, o aluno submete-se a exames escritos finais, necessitando de uma classificação mínima de 10 valores para aprovação
As ferramentas de inteligência artificial (IA) para a realização de elementos de avaliação (trabalhos individuais ou de grupo) têm de ser reveladas pelos alunos, identificando o seu propósito de utilização. Na avaliação destes elementos de avaliação, os resultados serão aferidos através de avaliação complementar (Discussão oral presencial) com a ponderação de 60% conforme descrito em cima.
O uso responsável e ético da IA por parte do(a)s aluno(a)s, com vista à integridade académica, será discutido em contexto de sala de aula, tendo em conta as regras definidas nesta FUC
