Hi, I am taking my second science in college this coming semester and I am signed up for general botany. All that I know about the subject going into the course is that it is about plants. Any input would be helpful so I will know what to expect (please do not leave retarded answers that has nothing to do with the question or you will be reported). Thanks in advance!!!

Well, my intro class covered the entire plant kingdom, and basic anatomy/biology thereof.
You will start with the cell- because every intro biology course has too... it is written somewhere, I am sure.
You will discuss algae. Because they are cute. And produce Oxygen.
You might even move into rhodophyta, chlorophyta, phaeophyta,...
Then come the vascular plants.
Moving up through complexity... Trees may be near the end... unless you begin to study reproductive structures in detail. This can take a while.
I mean, I don't know how detailed your professor is likely to be.
Will you discuss the different cuts of wood and the cells viewable at each aspect?
Will you look at fruiting bodies, flowers, fruits, propagation structures (stolons, rhizomes, corms, bulbs...)?
Will you examine the fruits present in a straw"berry?"
You might really have to study alternation of generations- some folks have trouble with it.
Parthenogenesis?
Photosynthesis- definitely! I & II- maybe. Calvin cycle and thalloid membranes?
Ah, this brings back happy memories... I may have to go sit in another class next semester...

Can look at the course description in the college catalogue.
Or class syllabus from someone who took the class recently.
Also track down the professor and talk.
Can give you a copy of the syllabus.
You might also have a lab or field trips.
Might visit or do an exp. in a greenhouse on campus etc.
Just don't start talking to the prof. about pot!
or mention your Cheech & Chong video collection,
your hemp belt buckle, t-shirt
or anything considered parafnalia.
Otherwise you both might be reported!
Best Wishes

well, I was actually going to give you a helpful answer, but I was afraid you would think it was "retarded" and report me. Oh, well.
