Plant Physiology

This chapter describes the different transportation processes inside the plant cells. You will learn how the processes such as active transport, passive transport, diffusion, and osmosis help the plants to transport nutrients throughout the body.

This chapter describes the different minerals and nutrients required by the plants for growth. Nitrogen, iron, zinc, copper, boron and chlorine are some of the essential minerals required by plants.

This chapter describes the process of photosynthesis. It includes the photophosphorylation, electron transport chain, the C4 pathway, and the C3 pathway. Types of C4 plants and their tissue organisation are also included here.

This chapter describes the processes that take place during the respiration of plants. These include the Glycolysis process that converts carbohydrates into pyruvate, besides aerobic respiration, the Amphibolic pathway, and fermentation.

This chapter describes the different processes and growth regulator involved in the development of a plant. It discusses some of the hormones involved in growth regulation, such as Auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, and abscisic acid.
