Plant Biology???

Does anyone know if we need to study Plant Biology? I checked the DAT 2011 Program guide and I didn't know where Plant biology would fit into their study guide for the biology section

--dont think u gotta go in that much detail but yes i think you should review plant bio basics

Thanks molar3, but do you know if we need to know about the different hormones,reproduction, alternations of generations ?? I'm asking this becuase I looked at the sample study guide from datQvault and they had a section just for plant biology.

I don't know the answer to your question. I just wanted to say that I just read through the plant section in barrons ap bio and I wanted to share the fact that I freaking hate plants. ok, only 100 more pages to read/review before I call it a night........maybe I will drink a beer and then try reading it again, maybe somehow the plants will become funny and interesting, seeing as how we will be injecting a plant root into our patients mouth, it's probably imperative that we all know the difference between a bryophytes ass and a seedless tracheophytes mouth.

hmmm i dont know if we need to know it, but i studied it because i saw questions pertaining to those topics in like every practice test i was taking (ie-topscore, dat destroyer, achiver & now datqvault etc) so i assumed i had to know it. i cant rmbr if i saw an actual plant question on my real DAT tho, ive blocked out the memory...

hahahaha omgoddd im @the airport & i figured id pretend to be productive & "study" but reading all this biocrap is making me fall asleep & ill probably miss my flight. 😴
plants are NEVER going to be intresting!!!! i always wondered why we need to study plant stuff and all the diff arthropod/annelid/stuff...i dont see how its relevant but w/e i guess

lmao... I swear I came here JUST TO TYPE that

There is a chapter on Cliff's AP thats dedicated to all plants (hormones and all that other stuffs). I read that chapter 48 hours before my test because.... that chapter was too dry and dull that no matter how many times I read it, i always forgot it shortly afterwards. So I saved its final preparations for right before the test.

I would recommend a very brief study of this boraphyll material. I had maybe 3 questions about plants on my DAT 2 years ago and they were almost common sense.
