This chapter explains in detail the different means of transportation of water and nutrients to plants and plant water relations. This chapter further explains the long-distance transport of water to plants and transpiration in plants.

This chapter discusses the importance of minerals to plants and the deficiency symptoms of essential elements in plants. It also provides information on the mechanism of absorption of minerals and nitrogen metabolism.

This chapter deals with photosynthesis in green plants. It also explains the mechanism of photosynthesis, photorespiration, and the factors affecting the process of photosynthesis in plants.

This chapter provides information about cellular respiration in plants. It also explains aerobic and anaerobic respiration, and a brief note on the amphibolic pathway and respiratory quotient is also given here.

This chapter explains the growth and development in plants, which includes the phases and conditions for growth and the sequence of developmental processes in a plant cell. It also discusses plant growth regulators, photoperiodism and vernalisation.
