Plant Biology
Learning Time: 5-15 hours
Content: Plant biology is the field that studies the structure, growth, reproduction, and environmental adaptations of plants. This subject covers plant tissues (meristem, parenchyma), root and stem structures, adaptations related to photosynthesis, reproductive organs (flower, fruit), and plant hormones. TYT focuses on plant organs and photosynthesis, while AYT focuses on reproduction and hormones. The current 2025 curriculum also covers adaptation to climate change and genetically modified plants. Learning this subject forms the basis for agriculture and ecology.
- Plant Structure and Tissues:
- Meristem Tissues (Apical and Lateral Meristem)
- Permanent Tissues (Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma)
- Transmission Tissues (Xylem and Phloem)
- Plant Organs:
- Root System (Absorption and Anchorage)
- Stem (Support and Transmission)
- Leaf (Photosynthetic Surface)
- Plant Reproduction:
- Flower Structure (Male and Female Organs)
- Pollination (Wind, Insect Mediated)
- Fruit and Seed Development
- Plant Hormones:
- Auxin (Growth and Tropism)
- Cytokinin (Cell Division)
- Abyssinian Acid (Stress Response)
- Ethylene (Ripening)
- Giberellin (Elongation)
- Movement and Adaptation in Plants:
- Tropisms (Phototropism, Geotropism)
- Nastic Movements (Seismic Movement)
- Stress Adaptations (Drought Tolerance)
- Applications and Technologies:
- Genetic Modification (GMO Plants)
- Hormone Use in Agriculture
- Resistant to Climate Change Types
