If you ever wanted to learn about plants but didn't know where to start, the Plant Anatomy Book by BPP and E is for you. This comprehensive guide will tell you everything about plants in regards to their basics, including how they reproduce and grow. It's broken down into 9 chapters that review such topics as leaves, root systems, stomata, and more! Topics: plantanatomybookbybppandeypdf715 Summary: This book offers details on how plants reproduce and grow with a helpful breakdown of root system elements like rhizomes and stem segments. The book is broken down into nine chapters. The first chapter provides an introduction to plant anatomy, giving detailed descriptions on how plant growth is affected by the environment. The second chapter examines plant anatomy by breaking its subject into six different categories for further understanding. This includes root system elements like rhizomes and stem segments. It also explains the growth of leaves by detailing their structure, including stomata and spongy mesophyll cells. Stomata are actually small openings on the leaf surface that allows gas exchange necessary for photosynthesis to occur. Stomata are found on both sides of a leaf allowing for even gas exchange between air spaces in the leaf tissue and external air spaces allowing for relative humidity to be maintained in the process. The book also explains the effects of the environment on plant growth. The third chapter describes seed development and gives details on sex determination in plants. It also describes how seeds are formed inside the seed coats making it vital for plant reproduction. The fourth chapter discusses individual plant organs, including their functions and structures if frozen thawing. It also explains frozen thawing by defining cell walls, water content, enzymes, fat content, protein content, carbohydrate content etc. This chapter is important for people who use freezing methods to preserve foodstuffs or conserves seeds to harvest them for planting at a later time which can be done up to 50 years later! Chapter 5 provides an overview of stomata and shows you how to identify them first-hand. It also explains how the stomata functions by discussing their structure, shape, function and relationship with plant life. A stomata is a microscopic hole on the edge of the leaf surface so it can open and close allowing for gas exchange to occur between the leaf's hygroscopic water content and external air spaces. Chapter 6 talks about photosynthesis with its diverse process that occurs inside plants. Photosynthesis is a photochemical conversion of energy from light into chemical, or reduced energy forms that are used to build cellulose through the process of C-C bond formation. This chapter also tells you what various pigments are responsible for; chlorophyll, carotenoids and phylloquinone (K). Chapter 7 discusses plant nutrition, giving details on how plants utilize carbon, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. This chapter defines the absorption of C-C bond electrons by monocotyledonous plants in photosynthesis that is performed in chlorophyll consisting of pheophytin and protoporphyrin IX. Chlorophyll is also responsible for protecting plants from harmful ultra violet rays when sunlight hits the leaves in the process of photosynthesis. The eighth chapter discusses plant respiration with its diverse process that occurs inside plants. Plant respiration is a biochemical conversion of energy from light into chemical, or reduced energy forms that are used to provide ATP through the process of C-C bond formation.
