Plant Physiology

Cockroaches’ excretory system is in charge of eliminating waste from the body. Malpighian tubules, a pair of coiled tubes that run the length of the cockroach’s body, make up the system. The tubules filter wastes out of the body by collecting them from the blood. The anus is subsequently used to discharge the filtered wastes. […]

When you drink a lot of water, you know you’ll need to pee a lot sooner or later, right? Do you know why this is the case? This is due to the fact that our kidney filters our blood and gathers all waste products in our urine bladder, which we then expel. Excretion is a

When plant cells are submerged in a solution containing more solutes than the cell, they lose water. This is known as a hypertonic solution. Water flows out of the cells and into the surrounding fluid due to osmosis. As a result, the protoplasm, or all of the material on the cell’s interior, shrinks away from

The process by which materials move from a lower concentration to a greater concentration is known as active transport. Molecules can migrate from one side of a cell wall to the other using adenosine triphosphate (ATP, which is required for cellular energy). Continue reading to learn about active transports in plants and animals. Example of

Eutrophication is the continuous increase of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients in an aged aquatic habitat, such as a lake. As the amount of organic material that can be broken down into nutrients grows, so does the productivity or fertility of such an ecosystem. This material enters the environment mostly from runoff from land,

Introduction Alga is a name that characterises a huge and varied group of eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms. They do not have the same ancestor, and might not be related to one another. Good examples of multicellular algae are the massive kelp and brown algae. Euglenophyta, dinoflagellates and diatoms are good examples of unicellular algae. The majority

Epiphytes are a type of organism that develops on the exterior of other vegetation. On the other hand, some epiphytes may be created on rocks or stones and a few other support surfaces. While certain epiphytes harm plants, the large bulk is not a parasite. Instead of relying on the plant for nourishment, they typically

This phenomenon occurs when the water potential outside of the cell is higher than the water potential within the cytoplasm of the cell.  Solute concentration in solution around a cell is less than solute concentration in the cytoplasm, as a result of this difference in concentration. When  Endosmosis occurs  water molecules migrate through the cell

Plasmolysis In a hypertonic solution, plasmolysis is the water loss by cells. If the cell is in a hypotonic solution, deplasmolysis or cytolysis can occur, resulting in a reduced external osmotic pressure as well as a net flow of water into the cell. It is feasible to detect the tonicity of the cell’s surroundings as

The most well-known symbiotic fungus is those that develop mycorrhizal associations and those that generate lichens by forming partnerships with algae. A significant number of fungi infect plant roots by developing a mycorrhizal relationship with the plants. This relationship is distinct from typical root infection, which is the cause of root illnesses. Mycorrhiza is a
