I never know what to study before exams that are so broad a subject.

I know the answer is going to be "study all of it" but I like to be efficient.

    Krebs krebs krebs cycle! It's all I remember.

    Wait, how different is botany from biology? Maybe you should study shades of green.

    Define symplast, apoplast, cation exchange, quenching (wrt photosynthesis), PAR, and water potential. Other stuff, probs, plant physiology was a while ago for me.

    My last botany exam had a lot of longform essay questions about successional process and ecological interactions from memory, sorry I don't have a copy available

    just point at things and say "that's a plant". If anyone takes issue, ignore them, bend down to scrutinise your plant and say "hmm, sessile" really thoughtfully, that way they'll know you're the real deal.

    I wanted to do some quip about monoecious/bisexual flowers being perfect but then I got stuck reading about the alternation of generations for the first time instead? What the fuck are plants even

    My guess is questions about plants and shit.

    Real answer probably some basic stuff about their reproductive systems, some stuff about their cellular makeup, and various pollination mechanisms, root systems, probably different leaf types and waxy vs soft leaves and their evolutionary roots. It's been a looooooong time since my field biology days but if you want I could probably come up with more.
