This response is not learned but is an innate, genetically encoded behavior. The nature of the response is contingent upon the direction of the stimulus, distinguishing it from nastic movements, which … Read more
What is Turgor Pressure? Definition of Turgor Pressure Turgor pressure is the internal force exerted by water against a cell’s plasma membrane and its supporting cell wall, primarily observed in plants, fungi, and bacteria, resulting from the osmotic flow of water into the cell. Mechanism of Turgor Pressure Turgor pressure, a fundamental concept in cellular … Read more
The type of reproduction that doesn’t require the union of female and male gametes, and creates individuals who have genetically identical traits to their parent is referred to as Asexual reproduction. In the article below we will be able to learn about the asexual reproduction of plants, the types of it techniques. Therefore, let’s start … Read more
The essential component of sexual reproduction in plants is the seed. It is the end product of sexual reproduction and is only found in angiosperms or gymnosperms. Gymnosperms do not produce fruits or flowers, so their seeds are “naked”. Angiosperms on the other hand, have mature ovules which develop within the fruit after fertilization. Angiosperms … Read more
What is Photosynthesis? Definition of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the biological process by which plants, algae, and certain bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen and organic compounds, primarily glucose, from carbon dioxide and water. Experimental History The intricate process of photosynthesis, which underpins life on Earth, has been the subject of extensive scientific … Read more
Introduction to Sphagnum Sphagnum is commonly referred to as peat moss, bog turf moss or moss moss due of its ecological significance in the creation of peat and bog.
