The following points highlight the six main factors affecting transpiration in plants. The factors are: 1. Humidity of Air 2. Light or Illumination 3. Temperature 4. Wind 5. Atmospheric Pressure 6. Soil Factors. Factor # 1. Humidity of Air: As transpiration involves diffusion of water vapour from regions of high concentration (intercellular spaces of leaves) to that of low concentration [...]
In this article we will discuss about the translocation and digestion of food in plants. Translocation and Storage of Food: Water with dissolved mineral matters is absorbed and conducted upwards through the xylem elements to the leaves. Leaves are, in fact, the organs where complex organic food matters are mostly synthesised. Food matters are consumed particularly by the actively growing [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle. Difference # Glycolysis: 1. It occurs inside the cytoplasm. 2. It is a straight or linear pathway. 3. Glycolysis is the first step of respiration in which glucose is broken down to the level of pyruvate. 4. The process is common to both aerobic and anaerobic [...]
