Botany

Embark on a comprehensive botany journey through this 2.5-hour video series. Explore the fascinating world of plants, from their cellular composition to their complex interactions with the environment. Delve into plant anatomy, growth mechanisms, pigments, and classification systems. Discover the evolutionary progression from nonvascular plants to angiosperms, examining key groups like bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns, and gymnosperms. Investigate plant responses to environmental stimuli, including tropisms and defense mechanisms. Learn about different types of photosynthesis in plants, including C3, C4, and CAM processes. Conclude with an introduction to dendrochronology, covering its core principles, wood structure analysis, sampling techniques, and practical applications in various scientific fields.
