We had a landscape plants identification and a weed identification class. The landscape plants class includes memorizing about 40 different trees. Luckily, just a few months ago I memorized the majority of the trees we need to know for a course at bYu. The weed identification course will be difficult, because most of the weeds are not found in the mountains of Utah or Idaho, and we also have to know the plants by both common name and botanical (latin) name.
We also had our botany class again today. We had a quiz over the material we learned yesterday, which I got 100% of the problems correct. We then talked at length about the process of photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis uses H2O and CO2 and converts it into C6H12O6 and O2. Respiration uses C6H12O6 and O2 and converts it into H2O and CO2 that can be used by the plant. Luckily for us the plant produces more O2 during photosynthesis than it uses during respiration.
So far I have had 2 quizzes and have aced both of them. I hope my perfect streak will continue, we have more difficult quizzes at the beginning of the week!!
