Plant Cells & Hormones: Crash Course Botany #3

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some wild features that set them apart from animal cells. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll ask: are plants more than the sum of their cells?

Some answers to the extra credit question are…apples and pears! What’s your go-to recipe to use overripe fruit?

I cannot overstate how delighted I am to find out Alexis Nicole is working with Crash Course 🤩

[MTCHSMLN]

Alexis is so bright and energetic, it's super refreshing just to hear her speaking! I have very little interest in this subject, but I think I'm going to have to tune in for this series just for her.

[gromit]

Alexis being on Crash Course has made my year, because it’s at least 157% MORE Alexis. Factual math. 😊

[DirtMoss]

Alexis is so perfect for Crash Course Botany. Her voice is full of emotion, she makes listening to each episode a delight. Can’t wait for more!!

I didn't get why this only had 286 views, then i saw that the upload was 3 minutes ago.
Glad to stumble upon really fresh content from crash course :)

[kiataylorriccio]

This course is so great! I love the tidbits of history that get thrown in as well. Thank you Alexis and the crash course team!

I am so stoked Alexis is doing CC Botany! I've been watching CC for 10 years and have been obsessed with Alexis since discovering her on TikTok 2ish years ago!! Alexis is so great at delivering info in a fun, creative, and funny way.

So you're saying... That mitochondria... Are the powerhouse of the cell?

[shannonb]

The host’s energy and enthusiasm are so wonderful! This show makes me so happy ❤

[AdnicajChiquis]

cc Botany is that class that everyone shows up to, even though they're not registered, just 'cause the Prof is so cool.

[Simon-djvt]

4:05 A really interesting fact is that there is a type of bacteria that does actually do photosynthesis and its called Cyanobacteria or Cyanophyta and they're pretty neat!

[skunkyraccoon]

These episodes have been absolutely delightful!! They've been bringing me so much joy!!

[afnan]

Her voice makes you interested and harmonized with the topic.❤

[viviantompkins]

I will now always think of ribosomes as sprinkles in a funfetti cake

[TheBoredOtter]

Alexis: *talks about edelweiss*
Me: *starts singing edelweiss* EDELWEISS

[Jack-ghxb]

Love that Alexis is the voice of the botany courses, I can’t think of anyone more qualified! She’s already taught so many people about plants through her tiktok, plus her enthusiasm is amazing!

[emilysytpage]

I didnt know about Alexis before seeing her on CC, but im glad she has a audience outside of crash course. She has that "teacher whos really into their topic" energy. What a pleasure learning about this topic from someone like her.

[bleurendom]

i love how animated this host is! truly incredible love her

[AmandaHayes]

Alexis a truly a gift, what a great addition to crash course! ❤
