Physiology of Plant

Fermentation and anaerobic respiration are two types of cellular respiration mechanisms that are used to produce ATP for the functioning of the cell. Both fermentation…

Importance of respiration: The importance of respiration is unlimited in the life of any organism. Respiration occurs continuously in every living cells of plants and…

Fermentation: The process by which glucose is completely oxidized, in absence of oxygen, to form alcohol or lactic acid and a small amount of energy…

Plasmolysis may be defined as the shrinkage of cell protoplasm away from ifs cellulose wall when placed in hypertonic solution. Plasmolysis shrinking of the cytoplasm…

The total turgor pressure of the cortex tissue as a result of which water enters the xylem vessels through endoderm is called root pressure. Root pressure,…

Diffusion pressure deficit (D.P.D.): The differences of the diffusion pressure between a solution and a solvent at N.T.P is called diffusion pressure deficit. In a…

Wall pressure (W.P.) Wall pressure is the pressure exerted on the contents of a plant cell by the cell wall that is equal in force…

A cell in it’s fully expanded condition is said to be Turgid. Turgidity is the state of a cell in which the cell wall is…

The pressure that is exerted on the cell wall due turgidity is called Turgor pressure (T.P.). Plant cells are very much like your own cells,…

In higher plants, the main and only source of water is soil water. The rain water is soil water. The rain water is the only…
