Plant Physiology and Plant Cells
Plant Physiology Plants diverse biochemical machines Sizes 1 cm to >100 m tall The ultimate energy collectors supporting most biological organisms Non-motile Must adapt to changing environments and"find" resources to survive Mechanisms to requlate water loss Move water minerals and"food" from sites of collection to sites of need within the plant
Plant Physiology • Plants = Diverse biochemical machines. ➢ Sizes 1 cm to >100 m tall. ➢ The ultimate energy collectors supporting most biological organisms. ➢ Non-motile. Must adapt to changing environments and “find” resources to survive. ➢ Mechanisms to regulate water loss. ➢ Move water, minerals and “food” from sites of collection to sites of need within the plant
Plant Physiology Physiology The study of biological processes and functions of living organisms How plants Use energy to assimilate carbon Convert carbon to“stuf” Grow and develop Respond to the environment Reproduce
Plant Physiology • Physiology The study of biological processes and functions of living organisms. • How plants: ➢ Use energy to assimilate carbon. ➢ Convert carbon to “stuff”. ➢ Grow and develop. ➢ Respond to the environment. ➢ Reproduce
