Welcome to Plant Biology

In the plants section of the site you can find everything you could ever possibly want to know about green plants. These are just a few of the topics you will be able to find in this section:

  • Osmosis
  • Structure of the leaf
  • Photosynthesis

    • CellsStructure of plant cell (vacuole, chloroplasts, and cell wall).
    OsmosisHow it works (membrane, concentration gradients) and what it does (cell turgidity).
    PhotosynthesisChemical reactions, limiting factors (heat, light) and comparison with respiration.
    Plant GrowthRole of Auxins, example of phototropism and commercial uses of plant hormones.
    TranspirationStructure of leaf and specializations; brief explanation of transpiration.
