BAC Intro Lecture Feb 1 2001 new.dv

A very condensed version of Lecture One, posted here because we had to miss the first couple of classes because of bad weather.

Students: Look for three "big" messages:

1) Plants are open systems that interact with their environment

2) Plants have evolved over long periods of time to attain their shape, characteristics, chemistry, and functions

3) Plants are structurally simple and functionally compiex.

Enjoy! See you next week!
