SINOPSIS (SYNOPSIS):Kursus ini mendedahkan pelajar kepada pengertian kepelbagaian biologi (biodiversity) dengan penekanan dan penghayatan kepada aspek kepelbagaian species. Kepelbagaian species organism ditinjau merangkumi organism prokariot, tumbuhan dan haiwan peringkat tinggi. Ciri-ciri kumpulan organism pada peringkat Filum atau Divisi daripada Alam yang berbeza akan dibincangkan dari segi kepelbagaian struktur, adaptasi, pertalian di antaranya dan saling tindak mereka dengan persekitaran. Kepentingan organisma tersebut juga akan dibincangkan khususnya untuk agrobiodiversiti (iaitu subset penting dalam biodiversity. Penekanan juga akan di berikan kepada aspek pemuliharaan dan penggunaan mapan agrobiodiversiti bagi tujuan komersilan, jaminan makanan dan menangani impak perubahan cuaca kepada aktiviti pertanian.

OBJEKTIF (OBJECTIVES):Students are expected to be able to:

• Appreciate the wide variety of living organisms based on first hand observation.• Understand how organisms are classified according to the 5 kingdom classification of

Margulis & Schwartz (1988).• Appreciate the wide range of usage of microorganism to human life and environment.• Understand how animals are adapted to their environment.• Understand the need to maintain biodiversity through conservation strategies.

HASIL PEMBELAJARAN (LEARNING OUTCOMES):

At the end of the course, student should be able to:i. Distinguish the characteristics for each kingdom, adaptation and discuss the benefits of

each species. (C1, C2, C3, P1)ii. Discuss the economic and ethical reasons for maintaining biodiversity. (C2, A1, A2)iii. Discuss the conservation and the systematic management especially through

sustainable development. (C2, A1, A2)iv. Understand the biodiversity role in agriculture production, addressing issues related to

food security and climate change, and in wealth creation. (C1, C2, A1) v. Use the knowledge gained to solve problem related to biodiversity and environment.

(C2, A1, A2)vi. Appreciate the needs to conserve and sustainably utilize agro-biodiversity for a

productive and sustainable agriculture. (C2, A1, A2, A3)
