Plant Physiology

This chapter sheds light on the movement of water, food, nutrition, and gases in plants. We will understand the absorption of water and nutrients and its mechanism. It also explains cell-to-cell transport, plant water relation, and transpiration.

This chapter discusses plant and mineral nutrition. We will discuss its essential minerals and micronutrients. We will learn about nitrogen metabolism and nitrogen cycle through well-labelled diagrams.

This chapter focuses on plant respiration. We will understand the properties, process, and types of exchange of gases. Cellular respiration and energy relations are discussed here. We will also learn about the respiratory quotient of nutrients.

This chapter discusses the concept of photosynthesis. We will learn about autotrophic nutrition. Photosynthetic pigments and types are discussed here. We will understand photorespiration and the factors affecting photosynthesis.

This chapter discusses plant growth and development. We will understand the phases of plant growth. Conditions of growth and internal and external factors are discussed here. We will also study some growth regulators.
