Practice Other Topics from Transportation of Food and Minerals in Plants
In this topic, we are introduced to the process of transportation of nutrients in plants. It also elaborates on the various types of transportation with the aid of examples and diagrams.
This topic classifies the plant tissues into meristematic and permanent tissues. Further, classification of these tissues with their picturisations and examples are given in detail.
This topic sheds light on the movement of water in the apoplast pathway and the symplast pathway. The mechanisms and factors affecting the water absorption in plants are also discussed here through numerous diagrams.
In this topic, we will go through the conduction in plants with an activity. It explains the mechanism of conduction in plants with examples and pictures. It also discusses the different ways of conduction in plants.
In this topic, we will focus on the transportation of solutes in plants. It also illustrates the direction of transportation and the mechanism of translocation with the aid of diagrams highlighted here.
This topic details the process of transpiration which involves the loss of water. It covers the phenomenon of guttation in plants. It also discusses the differences between transpiration and guttation.
In this topic, we will study the essential nutrients based on organic and inorganic compounds. It also demonstrates the criteria for essentiality in minerals, and also discusses the classification of minerals.
