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
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
How do face masks and respirators prevent you from breathing in harmful particles? As respiratory protection against coronavirus becomes increasingly important, Risk Bites dives into the science of face masks and respirators, and explores what makes for good protection, whether it’s a professional
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

My forest needs insects, and to attract them I need to get busy again. To do this, I got myself a few shrubs I want to plant today. In this video you'll learn how to do it and what you need to keep in mind.
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 this video, we show you how to make your campsite more enjoyable with simple means! We plant bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers in special pots with water-reservoir inserts, making watering a breeze. You’ll also get useful tips on choosing materials, from low-peat potting soil to afford
