Plant Structure

Paul Andersen explains the major plants structures. He starts with a brief discussion of monocot and dicot plants. He then describes the three main tissues in plants; dermal, ground and vascular. He also describes the plant cells within each of these tissues; epidermis, parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerencyma, xylem and phloem. He describes both primary and secondary growth in plants. He finishes the podcast with a discussion of double fertilization in plants.

Everybody clap for Paul. He saved our grades.

Here is my mnemonic for types of ground tissue:
Parenchyma: they are the PARENT cells which provide for the others by providing what they need to grow: metabolism and photosynthesis. (Pare- starts both words.)
Sclerenchyma: The strong soldier cells. They give their lives for the greater good of the plant, die and become woody growth. (Sclerenchyma, strong, and soldier all start with ‘s.’)
Chollenchyma: they are support cells. These are the ‘column’ cells. (Both words start with he sound “col-“.)

Dear Mr. Andersen, i am 40 years old and studying plant physiology for a second time to become a golf course superintendent. I had the good fortune to discover your channel today and want to say you managed in one day to get through to me what i have tried to understand for over 20 years.
You have a wonderful gift as teacher and your style and site is so easy to follow.!
I will share your site with many, thank you.

This video explained half a semester in botany in 15 minutes. Great video by a great teacher!

Well said mate.

real shit, Mr. Anderson, you're the man... I finally understand these concepts...keep it up fam

This is like slower than crash course but faster than khan academy. Usually I use Crash course for review and khan for learning something complex. This is a good mixture.

Covered 3 hours just with 14 minutes. Best explanation ever!

Bozeman + Crash Course + Khan Academy = DIstinction

[Lalaith]

I seriously wish you had been my professor in my basic plant biology course.. Then I wouldn't have to take a repair exam tomorrow. You explain everything so well and so simple. Thank you so much!

[roghanramani]

You explained in 13 minutes what most teachers explain in like a week. You are the best. I don't even like Biology that much but watching your videos makes me want to consider it as a future occupation. Thank You!

I am a Turkish high school student and I have an exam about plants tomorrow. So I came here to refresh my knowledge about plans. And it was a really fun lesson

[Crystalmsy]

You explained things I never understood during the last 4years in a few minutes.Thanks.Diagrams are essentials.

[prasobhpanchami]

Dear Andersen, You are very good at presenting the most complicated subjects in a simple way. I request you to upload more podcasts and make learning more easy and pleasurable.

[Ana-ksje]

Taking a botany course in college and your videos help me immensely! Thank you!!

[JosephineEbejerGrech]

Thanks for sharing all these lessons. I am a biology teacher myself and I suggest my students to watch your video clips.

[TheGirlWhoPlaysMC]

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for every episode you make. Almost every episode I watch to wither be ahead of the class or study. So thank you SO much!

Best explanation on plant structure that I have personally heard so far.

All I wanted know was what a Node was, and now I’m some kind of effin plant genius!!! That’s a GREAT tutorial!! I will be watching the rest!
