Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. It is a passive process that requires no energy expense by the plant. Transpiration also cools plants, changes osmotic pressure of cells, and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients. When water uptake by …
Yes, glycolysis; pentose phosphate pathway; and aerobic. Now things will get very complicated here so stick with us or check out our much simpler YouTube videos. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of a cell, and it can be broken down into two main phases: the energy-requiring phase, above the dotted line in the image below, …
The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. In many ways, respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. In the natural environment, plants produce their own food to survive. They use the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment to produce sugars and oxygen (O2), …
Want to service your two-stroke engine for free? You don’t always need to replace parts during a service, by cleaning the spark plug, air filter and fuel filter we can save money and help the environment. Why did we create an educational hub?Our online educational videos and educational cards were established for many reasons, but …
When Rubisco binds oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, the resulting process is called photorespiration – an innifficent, energy-consuming process. Considering that our air is 21% Oxygen but only 0.035% Carbon dioxide,Rubisco would be considerably more likely to bind oxygen than carbon dioxide, except that it has a much higher affinity for carbon dioxide than it …
Knowing soil conditions essential to benefit from sand cappingA popular way of improving the playability and performance of turf on golf courses is by sand capping the tees, fairways and even the roughs. The effectiveness of sand capping has been proven. However, achieving a result is only possible when all parameters have been well-established and …
