Plants are responsible for incredible feats of molecular transformation. Plant processes, such as photosynthesis, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, carbon fixing reactions, respiration, are presented in this tutorial...
Photosynthesis is the process that plants undertake to create organic materials from carbon dioxide and water, with the help of sunlight- all of which are investigated in this tutorial...
Leaves are the major photosynthetic organ of a plant. Apart from that, they are also crucial to water movement. In this tutorial, various plant processes are considered in more detail. It also includes topics on leaf arrangements, leaf types, leaf structure, leaf color, abscission, and importance to humans...
Plants need to regulate water in order to stay upright and structurally stable. Find out the different evolutionary adaptations of plants in terms of structure (e.g. stomata) and physiological mechanisms (e.g. root pressure, capillarity, transpiration pull, curving of leaves, etc.) that enabled them to maintain the appropriate water level...
Lentic or still water communities can vary greatly in appearance -- from a small temporary puddle to a large lake. The size and depth of a still body of water are major factors in determining the characteristics of that ecosystem. Learn in this elaborate tutorial how life thrives in and influenced by a still-water habitat...
This tutorial elaborates on the effect of light on plant growth. It describes how different plants require different amounts of light in a day. The amount of time that a plant requires is called the critical period. Learn more about this topic in this tutorial...
