Plant Biology and Photosynthesis

Plant Biology and Photosynthesis is a self-paced learning path in Biological Sciences, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify the primary energy conversion process within botanical organisms; locate organelles responsible for metabolic activity within plant cells; describe how plants transport essential fluids from roots to leaves.
