Transport in plants: Water potential, osmosis

Ebb and Flow systems, without a doubt, are among the most straightforward and effective hydroponic growth methods available. It’s for this reason that they’ve become popular among both hobbyists and commercial greenhouse producers. Although it is not the simplest system to set up and does necessitate some effort, it is not as complicated as certain […]

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy for use by their cells. They require light, water, CO2, and certain minerals in order to survive. The soil provides plants with water as well as the nutrients they require for growth. When Von Sachs, a German botanist, demonstrated in 1860 that

The vacuoles in plants are essentially storage bubbles that are found within the cells of the plant. Indeed, they can store food products as well as various types of nutrients that cells require to survive. They can be found in both plants and animals. It is also possible to think of vacuoles as fighters, because

Introduction: Diffusion is defined as the net movement of anything (such as atoms, ions, molecules, and energy) from a higher to a lower concentration zone. Diffusion is sped up by a change in Gibbs free energy or chemical potential. As with spinodal decomposition, it is possible to diffuse “uphill” from a lower concentration region to

Both Hydroponics and Aeroponics are water-conserving farming methods, with the only difference being the medium used to grow the plants. The cultivation of plants using a nutrient-rich solution rather than water is known as hydroponics. Aeroponics is the cultivation of plants using a mist containing essential nutrients that is sprayed on the roots of the

The movement of material in bulk from one location to another due to pressure differences between two points is referred to as mass flow. Different substances move at different rates in diffusion due to concentration gradients. To achieve bulk flow, a (+ve) hydrostatic pressure gradient or a (–ve) hydrostatic pressure gradient is utilized. Water and

On Earth, there are two forms of primitive autotrophs: algae and bryophytes. Both creatures have a thalloid body structure that is undifferentiated. Algae are important primary producers and oxygen producers in habitats such as fresh and saltwater water. Bryophytes, which live in a hybrid of aquatic and terrestrial environments, are the most basic land plants.

Any of the minute openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems, often termed stomate, stoma, plural stomata, or stomas. On the underside of leaves, stomata are found extensively. They allow gases to flow between the leaf’s branching system of interconnecting air canals and the outside air. A stomate opens and closes

Our entire ecosystem is based on the building blocks of plants. They can be found anywhere like the food we consume, the air we breathe, and so on. We may be amazed to know that every living organism consists of 90 % water. Yes! we know correctly. Plants are mostly made up of water. So,

The process of transpiration includes the water molecules which are removed from the plant tissues through the aerial parts of the plants. Very small amount of water is absorbed by the plants which is utilised in growth and development. The rest of it would be eliminated in the form of respiration. There are several types
