Ecology is wordy and Evolution is theory-heavy. How to decide what to study, how to check their value yourself, and the concepts that repay the effort.

I made a little checklist for Anatomy of Flowering Plants and the first box is already giving me trouble 😅 What I have: meristems are regions of active cell division. Apical meristems are at the tips of roots and shoots
