Plant Growth and Reproduction

Paper Summary:

This paper briefly explains the basic principles behind plant growth and reproduction. It looks at the cell division process, describes the inner and outer cell layers and what is inside a cell and finally explains the process of cell division and photosynthesis.

From the Paper:

"In order to understand exactly how plants grow and how they reproduce, one must first have a basic understanding of the principles behind these two biological functions. In essence, the so-called "building blocks" are known as cells which exist in a great variety of shapes and forms with each cell having a specialization for bring about certain functions and biological operations. All of these specialized cells develop from identical cells through a process called cell differentiation, "a highly regulated process in which specialized chemical reactions control the cell's length and width, the mass and architecture of its walls and the nature of its internal structure." 1 Due to the fact that the growth of a plant involves the development of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and related structures, a continuous supply of new materials is required which is made possible through a process known as cell division."
