Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Grade 10 Biology Strand 2 (Anatomy and Physiology of Plants) Notes. The MS Word version is also available upon your request.

  These notes delve into the second strand of the Grade 10 biology curriculum, focusing entirely on the anatomy and physiology of plants. The content is structured into three key sub-strands: nutrition, transport, and gaseous exchange/respiration. The notes explain how plants create food, move essential substances, and exchange gases with their environment, complete with diagrams, summaries, and review questions.

  The topics covered in these notes are as follows:

  • Strand 2.0: Anatomy and Physiology of Plants
    • Sub-Strand 2.1: Nutrition
      • Types of Nutrition in Plants (Autotrophic and Heterotrophic)
      • Structure of the Chloroplast
      • Process of Photosynthesis (Light and Dark Stages)
      • Importance of Photosynthesis
    • Sub-Strand 2.2: Transport
      • The Transport System in Plants (Roots, Stems, Leaves)
      • Vascular Tissues in Monocots and Dicots
      • Uptake of Water and Mineral Salts
      • Transpiration and Factors Affecting It
      • Mechanism of Translocation
      • Importance of Transport in Plants
    • Sub-Strand 2.3: Gaseous Exchange and Respiration
      • Sites of Gaseous Exchange in Plants (Stomata, Lenticels, etc.)
      • Adaptations of Gaseous Exchange Structures
      • Mechanism of Opening and Closing of Stomata
      • Types of Respiration (Aerobic and Anaerobic)
      • Economic Importance of Anaerobic Respiration
      • Significance of Gaseous Exchange and Respiration
