We can also see the holes that the plant uses to “breathe” and a branching vein that carries water and nutrients to and from the leaf. Click on the right arrow to take a closer look at one of the ...

Plant organisation - Edexcel Plant leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gas exchange. Roots absorb water and mineral ions through root hair cells and are transported up the plant by the xylem.

Thus, one might expect plant leaves exposed to drought conditions to have fewer stomata in sunlit environments. The above discussion illustrates a very important concept in experimental biology - ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

A new study has uncovered a previously unknown plastome structural variation in the variegated plant Dianella tasmanica, ...
