Transport in plants: Water potential, osmosis

Introduction Cell to cell transport involves the movement of materials across cell membranes. It includes both active and passive transport. While the latter does not require energy to proceed, active transport requires a lot of energy to process further. The process of passive transport happens through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.  Unlike passive transport, active […]

In all the organisms nutrients keep on circulating and are transported from one part to another. In plants also the same process is essential so that all the parts and cells receive the required amount of nutrition. This movement can take place to the immediate surrounding or to far of body parts.When the substances need

Introduction Cell to cell transport of substances is considered as the small distance transportation. This small distance transportation occurs by diffusion and cytoplasmic streaming. Diffusion is a passive process that means it does not require energy whereas the cytoplasmic streaming is an active process that needs energy for transportation. Body  Like all other living cells,

Angina is a discomfort or pain in the chest caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood reaching the heart muscle cells. Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of angina. When blood flow to your heart is limited, it causes pain or discomfort. The syndrome usually arises due to physical activity and is cured

Plasmolysis occurs whenever plant cells lose water after being immersed in a solution containing more solutes than the cell. A hypertonic solution is what it is called. Osmosis causes water to flow out of the cells and into the surrounding fluid. The protoplasm, or all of the material on the inside of the cell, shrinks

Cactus are a unique type of plant that can only be found in highly hot conditions such as deserts. Indeed, no other plants are capable of withstanding the severe heat and lack of water found in these conditions. A cactus is a member of the plant family Cactaceae, which includes approximately 127 genera and approximately

Coffea is the botanical name for coffee. The botanical name is a plant or animal’s scientific name, which is usually written in italics. The name of the genus (Coffea) comes first, followed by the name of the species (arabica). Coffea Arabica Botanical Description Coffea arabica (the botanical name for coffee) is an Ethiopian native that

Introduction Water enters the plant by the root hair, which takes it up and around the plant, while solutes are transported by the xylem and phloem, which use the root, stem, and plant to transfer them. The apoplast is an area outside of a plasma membrane in plants that constitutes different parts like intercellular space,

The primary role of algae in the ecosystem is the generation of food, as well as the creation of oxygen gas. Fungal hyphae are a type of cell chain that is produced by fungi. The creation of the thallus is the result of the interaction between algae and fungi. The algae are autotrophs, which means
