Critical concentration
(Science: chemistry) The minimum concentration of units needed before a biological polymer will form.
Examples of biopolymers are microtubules from tubulin units, polypeptides from amino acid units, polysaccharides from simple Sugar units, etc.
Plants, like animals, produce hormones to regulate plant activities, including growth. They need these hormones to respond well to their environment and to sustain growth, development, and dispersal. Plant biologists recognize five major groups of plant hormones: auxins, gibberellins, ethylene, cytokinins, and abscisic acid. Find out in this guide the importance of each hormone in the life of a plant...
This tutorial looks at the adaptations of freshwater plants for them to thrive in still water habitats. Familiarize yourself with these various adaptations as well as their nutritional requirements obtained not from the soil but from freshwater...
Homeostasis is the relatively stable conditions of the internal environment that result from compensatory regulatory responses performed by homeostatic control systems. Know the different components of homeostatic control systems, homeostatic regulators, and the various biological processes that homeostasis entail...
