Course Details
• Plant Cell Structure: This unit will cover the basic anatomy of a plant cell, including the cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuoles, ribosomes, and other organelles. We will also discuss the differences between plant and animal cells.
• Photosynthesis: This unit will delve into the process of photosynthesis, including the role of light, water, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll in the production of glucose and oxygen. We will also cover the different types of photosynthesis, such as C3, C4, and CAM.
• Plant Hormones: This unit will explore the role of hormones in plant growth and development. We will discuss the five major plant hormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene) and their functions.
• Plant Nutrition: This unit will examine the essential nutrients required for plant growth, including macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur) and micronutrients (boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc). We will also discuss the importance of soil pH and the availability of nutrients.
• Plant Water Relations: This unit will cover the movement of water in plants, including transpiration, evaporation, and cohesion-tension theory. We will also discuss the importance of water in photosynthesis and plant growth.
• Plant Respiration: This unit will explore the process of respiration in plants, including the role of glucose, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. We will also discuss the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
• Plant Genetics and Genetic Engineering: This unit will cover the basics of genetics, including
