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
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

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
Sometimes animals and plants cannot get enough oxygen to respire aerobically, such as during intense exercise, but they still need to respire to survive. After all, everything relies on respiration for energy. Luckily there is a back-up plan; anaerobic respiration. The generalised equation for a
Respiration is the chemical process that supplies the body with energy for all other life processes: growth and repair of cells, muscle contraction, protein synthesis, sending nerve impulses, absorbing molecules in active transport to name just a few. It happens in ALL living cells, not just anima
Woman between the ages of 12 and 50 years old undergo a monthly cycle in which their uterus prepares for pregnancy; it prepares for a fertilised egg to settle and grow into a baby. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining breaks down and is expelled from the uterus. This is known as menstruation.
A hormone is a chemical messenger that is secreted (or released) into our bloodstream by specific organs known as glands. Hormones regulate (or control) many processes in our body, including blood glucose levels, water content in blood, general growth, and blood pressure – just to name a few. They
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
The Urinary System - An Introduction | Physiology | Biology | FuseSchool The urinary system is also known as the renal system and consists of the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder and the urethra. Your kidneys are bean shaped organs that are about the same size as a computer mouse. To find your kid
