Plant Physiology

Autotrophy (including plastids, photosynthesis, and the organism’s production of nutrients from the surrounding environment) and heterotrophy (involving the consumption of nutrients from the surrounding environment) are the two most common mechanisms of nutrition among protists (the taking in of nutrients). Protist  At the cellular level, the metabolic pathways that have been discovered in protists are […]

Germination is the process of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body emerging after it has been dormant for a length of time. Water absorption, time, chilling, warming, oxygen availability, and light exposure could all have a role in starting the process. Water is taken by the embryo during seed germination, resulting in the rehydration

Made up of specialised cellular organelles that differ from animal cells in several ways, plant cells are eukaryotes. Plant cells have a strong cell wall which keeps them erect and protects them from losing their form. The cytoplasm, other cell organelles and the plasma membrane, all work together to ensure the plant is healthy and

Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic, although there are certain variations between them, such as the presence of cell walls in plants and the varying sizes of vacuoles in animals. These distinctions reveal the disparities in their functions and the processes that these cells go through. Plasmolysis is one of these crucial mechanisms. Now,

Plasmolysis is the dehydration of a cell, which causes the cytoplasm to pull away from the cell wall. When a cell is placed in a solution that is hypotonic to the cell, this happens. The cytoplasm is pulled away from the cell wall as the cell wall absorbs water from the solution. The cell may

Introduction In plants the movement of water takes place from one cell to another and it depends on a number of factors but the chief factor is concentration of solution. Movement of water is called osmosis.By this process nutrients in dissolved state are transported from one part to another.Plasmolysis is the process with the help

Introduction Any multicellular eukaryotic life-form characterised by (1) photosynthetic nutrition (a characteristic possessed by all plants except some parasitic plants and underground orchids), in which chemical energy is produced from water, minerals, and carbon dioxide with the aid of pigments and the radiant energy of the Sun, (2) essentially unlimited growth at localised regions, (3)

Introduction Water is a vital factor for the survival of all living organisms. It is essential for many functions performed inside the body of all plants. It aids in cell enlargement due to turgor pressure and cell division, resulting in increased plant growth. It is required for seed germination, plant root growth, and soil organism

Introduction Water is the most plentiful component of all physiologically active plant cells. For example, leaves have water content within a range of 55–85% of their fresh weight. Other relatively moist parts of plants contain nearly the same proportion of water, and even large non-living tissues such as wood may be 30–60% water on a
