The assimilation of carbon dioxide from the sunlight, for the process of photosynthesis and then converting it to glucose (energy) synthesizing different product is the key difference between the three. So during the CO2 fixation, when the photosynthetic plants produce 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) or 3- carbon acid as the first product is called C3 pathway. But when the photosynthetic plant, prior going to the C3 pathway, produces oxaloacetic acid (OAA) or 4 -carbon compound as their first … [Read more...]

Pollination is a process of transferring of pollens from one flower to another. While fertilization is the process after the successful transfer of pollination, which involves the fusion of male gametes and female gametes of plants. Both of these are the natural process. But only flowering plants undergo the process of pollination, while fertilization is the common process of almost all living being. Continuation of life would not have been possible without the presence of plants, as directly … [Read more...]

Angiosperms and Gymnosperms are divided on the basis of kind of seeds they bear. Angiosperms are those whose seeds are covered inside the fruit. Gymnosperms seeds are called as naked seeds as they are exposed one. In gymnosperms seeds are developed on the surface of specialized leaves and they are cone bearing in nature.While the angiosperms plants contain ovary within the flowers and fruits. Angiosperms are found almost in all kind of habitat, right from the forest, grasslands to the sea … [Read more...]

Liverworts, hornworts, and mosses are the examples of bryophytes. These are non-vascular plants i.e. do not contain xylem and phloem tissues. Spikemosses, clubmosses, ferns, quillworts are the examples of pteridophytes. They are termed as vascular plants as they contain xylem and phloem tissues. Generally, the plant can be divided into four parts which are roots, stems, leaf and flowers. On these basis plant kingdom is classified into two categories which are Non-flowering plants and … [Read more...]

Chlorophyll is the food producers of the cell found in green plants, they are present inside the chloroplast. Chlorophyll plays a vital role in turning plants green and healthy. While chloroplast is a unique organelle found in all green plants and is the location of photosynthesis to occur where the green plants can convert sunlight into chemical energy. Chlorophyll is found in the mesophyll cells in green plants leaves. The chloroplast is found in the dense fluid part of the chloroplast. The … [Read more...]

Plants, algae and few bacteria are said to be autotrophic as they are able to prepare their own food, with the help of sunlight, air, and water. Conversely animals like cow, dog, lion, horse, etc. are said to be heterotrophic as they cannot prepare their own food and depends directly or indirectly on others for their nutrition. The mode of nutrition acquired by the living organisms or the way organisms consume their food, they are divided into two main categories, which are Heterotrophic and … [Read more...]
