PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN HIGHER Plants
PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN HIGHER Plants 1. PHOTOSYNTHESIS IS A PHYSIO-CHEMICAL PROCESS by which green plants use light energy to drive the synthesis of organic compounds. 2. PHOTOSYNTHESIS IS IMPORTANT DUE TO TWO REASONS: o it is the primary source of all food on earth and o it is also responsible for the release of […]

MINERAL NUTRITION 1. IN 1860, JULIUS VON SACHS (GERMAN BOTANIST) –> Demonstrated, for the first time, that plants could be grown to maturity in a defined nutrient solution in complete absence of soil. 2. THIS TECHNIQUE OF GROWING PLANTS IN A NUTRIENT SOLUTION IS KNOWN AS HYDROPONICS. 3. Through hydroponics technique, impact of a specific minerals […]
