Growth and Plant Hormones
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...
Neural Control Mechanisms
Neurons generate electric signals that they pass along to the other neurons or target tissues. In this tutorial, you will find the basic structure of a neuron, the different classes of neurons, and membrane potentials. It also includes the structure of the nervous system...
Regulation of Organic Metabolism, Growth and Energy Balance
The human body is capable of regulating growth and energy balance through various feedback mechanisms. Get to know the events of absorptive and post-absorptive states. This tutorial also describes the endocrine and neural control of compounds such as insulin and glucagon. It also deals with the regulation of growth, heat loss, and heat gain. ..
Effect of Chemicals on Growth & Development in Organisms
Plants and animals need elements, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium for proper growth and development. Certain chemicals though can halt growth, e.g. herbicides in plants, or affect normal physiological activities, e.g. alcohol. For more info, read this tutorial on the effects of chemicals on plants and animals...
Genetic Mutations
Mutations involving a gene can similarly be harmful as the chromosomal mutations. This tutorial looks at the mutations occurring at the genes and the harm it may bring. Get to know genetic mutations, such as gene inversions, gene translocations, and DNA sequence alternations...
Genetics and Evolution
Tutorials in Genetics and Evolution immerse on the molecular aspects and the works of nature that led to what every living thing has become. The ideologies of natural selection and evolution explicate the breadth of diversity among organisms. The knowledge imparted by geneticists and evolutionists led to modern technologies, such as genetic engineering and selective..
