Read the summary of each corresponding chapter.
Review through all lecture notes.
Read through all labs and understand any previous questions missed.
Complete reading of text and introductory material to all labs.
Review through all handouts provided e.g. mitosis, parts of plant shoots,
scientific method, tissues table, Botany of Desire video guide, cell
homework worksheet etc.
Topics to review:
Scientific method e.g. hypothesis, control, constants, conclusion, variables.
Conditions needed by plants to germinate: temp, O2, moisture etc.
Parts of a seed and a sprout e.g. hypocotyl, coleoptile, plumule, endosperm,
cotyledons, epicotyl, radical, hilum etc.
What is ethnobotany? How do humans use plants – remember that list?
Where are the cultural origins of agriculture and what type of food did each
contribute? E.g. where did the grains originate? Apples? Potatoes?
Rules of scientific names and examples. i.e. Genus species.
Parts of a microscope and how do you obtain magnification level? Know the
types of microscopes and what each can view e.g. SEM, light & TEM.
Parts of a cell – structures/organelles & their respective functions.
Understand difference between plasma membrane and the cell wall. What is the
cell wall composed of and why is it so sturdy? e.g. know lignin.
Know different types of plastids and what they contain.
Major cell processes – where do they occur e.g. photosynthesis occurs where in
plant organs? Which type(s) of cells carry this out? Importance to plants?
Know the different types of tissues and meristems, and where you find each.
Tissue categories: ground, vascular and dermal. What is difference between
parenchyma, sclerenchyma and collenchyma? What is diff between phloem &
xylem? What is role of each respective tissue category?
What are alkaloids? Can you give an example of a plant with these substances?
