But to say that they can do it extremely well, not really. For plant scientist like to see ifContinue reading “A glimpse from the past”

One of the things they can do that I found just astounding is their ability to adjust the speed with which they turn starch into sugar. Of all the energy plants get fromContinue reading “Calculating plants”
A balance between water and energy
A balance between water and energy For a plant photosynthesis is of vital importance. The conversion of CO2 into glucose creates energy, for living, growing, and multiplying. CO2 enters the plant via stomata, pores, located at the underside of the leaf. Photosynthetic rest product oxygen, as well as water, leaves the plant via stomata. ItContinue reading “A balance between water and energy”
