Plants have developed responses called tropisms. A tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus; so light and water in the plant’s case. There are different types of tropisms: Positive tropisms are when growth is towards the stimulus - so the plant growing towards the light to maximise the stimul
If a plant has enough water, minerals and energy it will grow right? Well sort of… but there is more to it - like why do plants bend towards the light and not just grow straight? And how come the stem grows up but the roots grow down? It isn’t as if a plant has eyes to tell it where the sun is. Pl
Skeletal structure - representation of organic compounds simply explained - substances and particles - organic chemistry. The skeletal structure represents organic compounds more clearly, simply and faster. In this context, important basic terms are line-angle formula or structural formula and valen
As populations have grown, farming practices have become more intensified to maximise crop yields and ensure we can feed the ever growing population. Fertilisers and pesticides are used on crops, and animals may be kept inside in more densely packed sheds to maximise milk yields, or egg production,
Our body is a pretty fantastic feat of engineering. But how does it work? How do all of the different components come together to keep us alive, keep us functioning and achieving our goals? In this video we are going to look at the levels of organisation in organisms, from smaller than cells to bigg

In this video we are going to look at a few different ways in which plant hormones can be used. Plant growth hormones (auxins) can be used as selective weedkillers. The selective weedkillers contain growth hormones, that cause the weeds to grow really quickly. This means the weed is absorbing nutr
In terms of biological classification, organisms are classified, or grouped, with other organisms that they are most closely related to. These small groups are then classified together into larger groups and so on, until we reach the top level of classification which places organisms in one of thr

Plants are extremely complex and diverse - there are thousands of species. In fact, there are probably somewhere around half a million different species. And these are just the ones we know about - there are no doubt many more that haven’t been fully discovered yet! It is estimated that 1 in 5, so
