Plant Biology
(Chapters 10, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

Plants, one of the five kingdoms of living organisms, are a significant contributor to the base of the food chain. The process by which these autotrophs capture energy from the sun and convert it into a chemical form, photosynthesis, is one of the most important metabolic processes upon which all life depends. After examining this important process the basics of plant anatomy and physiology are explored.
