The Plants & The Bees: Plant Reproduction - CrashCourse Biology #38 CrashCourse 2012-10-16 | Hank gets into the dirty details about vascular plant reproduction: they use the basic alternation of generations developed by nonvascular plants 470 million years ago, but they've tricked it out so that it works a whole lot different compared to the way it did back in the Ordovician swamps where it got its start. Here's how the vascular plants (ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms) do it.Table of Contents1) Sporophyte Dominance 01:552) Ferns 02:143) Gymnosperms 03:354) Angiosperms 05:335) Truth or Fail: Fruit Edition! 08:28References:http://www.home.aone.net.au/~byzantium/ferns/about.htmlhttp://hcs.osu.edu/hcs300/gymno.htmhttp://www.msnucleus.org/membership/html/k-6/lc/plants/5/lcp5_5a.htmlhttp://faculty.unlv.edu/landau/gymnosperms.htmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykzPemLs7Q&feature=relmfuhttp://extension.oregonstate.edu/mg/botany/flower2.htmlCrash Course is on Patreon!

Why Did All These Elephants Die? (Intro to Ecology): Crash Course Biology #5 CrashCourse 2023-07-18 | Ecology is the study of the interactions of living things with each other and their environment. It’s a field that not only lets us explore the interconnections between living things, but also how our environment affects us, and how we influence it in turn. In this episode of Crash Course Biology, we’ll get an overview of the field of ecology, see how matter and energy are conserved and transferred through ecosystems, and follow an ecological mystery surrounding the deaths of hundreds of elephants in Botswana, Africa.
