What Are Plants Made Of? Crash Course Botany #2

When you eat a salad for lunch, you’re digging into a giant pile of plant organs. That’s right-plants are made up of organs, only theirs follow a totally different set of rules from our own. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore what it takes to build a plant, including roots, leaves, and stems, and how one little tomato went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Capers are good anywhere you would normally use pickles. Burgers, hot dogs, Bolognese (instead of olives)... love them. (Still dig pickles too though, especially when freshly harvested from their native jars.)

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

@km1dash6 Жыл бұрын

Intelligence is knowing tossing in a cucumber will still make it a fruit salad. Wisdom is knowing people will look at you funny if you present that as a fruit salad.

I love that she’s broken down the science to a level that is accessible not only to younger students, but also adults like me who have been out of school for a while and are a little intimidated by re-learning the science. With these videos I feel like I’m getting accurate information without needing to stress about it! It’s exactly what I needed to help my newly-dug garden ❤

Brussel sprouts are the lateral buds on the stem, that would be at the base of the leaf. Cabbage is the 'whole plant' with the stem being basically reduced to nothing and the leaves maxed out and bred to stay bundled. Right? Fun fact: if you leave cabbage in the ground to its second year, the head with open up and grow a stalk from the center, with flowers at the top

@user-ti7me6yv7w Жыл бұрын

So in the video it says that buds will eventually grow to sub stem and have things on them, so is it a stem?

@joewilson3393 Жыл бұрын

4:35 I loved the little fact I learned about adaptation of leaves. Here in Arizona the native plants all have tiny leaves. Even the big Palo Verde and Mesquite trees have little tiny leaves like you might see on a fern. It's a way for the plants to avoid losing too much water through them because of big surface area's. Big wide leaves like Maple and such would lose tons of water evaporating from the leaves here.

Giggling a LOT at the bite into the onion at the end. The outer peel is definitely not the good part, and a RED onion is one of the stronger flavors. BUT!! I know three people (all related) who do exactly that: eat onions the way other folks eat apples! Also cool to learn that onions ARE NOT ROOTS, because I sure thought bulbs were roots. So already off to a fabulous start! And this host has insane energy - looking forward to the next episode, y'all!

With recreational being passed in so many states (like here in RI), I cannot recommend enough that you look into growing cannabis if you want to learn more about gardening/plants/botany. Not only do you get free medicine, it's a fast growing plant, robust, and the tricks you learn growing it can be directly translated to growing a ton of fruits and veggies. People often call it "growing tomatoes" because the two are so similar lol
