Study Notes

Introduction to Plant Physiology and Transport Overview

We'll focus heavily on transport because it's fundamental to all plant life. Plants can't just absorb water and nutrients everywhere; they need specialized systems to move these essential substances from where they're absorbed to where they're needed. Similarly, sugars made during photosynthesis need to be distributed to growing parts or storage organs. Hormones and signals also need to travel to coordinate development.
