Permanent tissues

Plants’ parenchyma is a simple permanent tissue found underneath the epidermis. It is made up of live cells that have thin cell walls and are loosely packed to allow for intracellular space. Because parenchyma contains chlorophyll, it participates in photosynthesis. It offers storage capabilities as well as other features. The parenchyma cell wall is made […]

Vernalization

Vernalization is a phenomenon that is used to increase the yield of earlier crops by allowing them to grow longer. Most of the time, they are grown in areas where they would not naturally occur. The process of vernalization aids in the acceleration of plant breeding. For example, wheat plants that produce two types, winter

THALLOPHYTE

The thallophytes are a group of non-mobile polyphyletic living organisms that are classified as a group of living organisms. Thallophytes are also referred to as thallophyta or thallobionta, depending on their classification. Thallophytes are identified and classified based on the presence of characteristics that are identical or similar to one another. Even though they do

Structure of an Angiospermic plant

An angiosperm is a flowering plant with an ovary in which the ovules are borne on a single carpel or a group of carpels that resemble a single structure. This type of plant has pollen present on the stamens. The seed is produced after pollination and typically consists of three parts: an embryo, endosperm and

Risk Factors for Angina

Angina is a type of chest pain caused by the reduction in the blood supply to the heart muscle. It can be either stable (happens during exercise and lasts less than five minutes) or unstable (happens during exercise and lasts more than five minutes but is relaxed during rest). One of the most prevalent causes

Protista and Fungi into major groups; Lichens

Introduction Protista and fungi are two distinct kingdoms of the five-kingdom classification, proposed by R.H. Whittaker. Each kingdom comprises organisms that differ in their structure and functional activities. However, lichens show a symbiotic relationship between two diverse kingdoms. A symbiotic relationship signifies the benefits of both organisms involved. Thus, lichens possess the characteristics of green

Lichens

Introduction Lichens are leafy organisms that colonise any hard surface like those of rocks, tree barks, cave walls and soil. Until the advent of microscopy, Lichens were considered to be single organisms. Lichens are the combination of a special type of algae called cyanobacteria and fungi, specifically ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. These complex organisms have been

Pollination And Fertilisation

Plants reproduce sexually through pollination and fertilisation. They are the two most common and natural methods of childbirth. This procedure, which happens in all bisexual flowers, involves both the male and female reproductive components (anther and stigma). As a result, the reproductive organs of all flowering plants are referred to as flowers. Pollination It is

Plantae

Biologist Whittaker presented us with the Five Kingdom Grouping, which divides all living organisms into five territories: Protista, Monera, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The Five Kingdom Grouping is a classification system developed by biologist Whittaker. It is essential to understand more about the Kingdom Plantae, sometimes known as the plant kingdom, to gain a better
