Plant Physiology (Functional Organisation)

This chapter talks about transport in plants. Various means of transport in plants are described here. We will also know more about plants, their water relations, long-distance transport of water, mineral nutrients, transpiration, and phloem transport.

This chapter sheds light on essential mineral elements required for the growth and development of plants. We will study the role of macronutrients and micronutrients. It also explains nitrogen metabolism and the biochemistry of nitrogen fixation.

This chapter teaches us about photosynthesis which is an energy transfer process. It elucidates the composition and functions of chloroplasts in the process of photosynthesis. It discusses the stages and limiting factors of photosynthesis.

This chapter gives a fair idea about respiration and how it is different from photosynthesis. A comparative study of aerobic and anaerobic respiration highlights the common phases both types go through.

This chapter focuses on plant growth and development. Here, we will study the various processes and stages of photoperiodism and vernalization in detail. It also provides an overview of plant growth regulators and their functions.
