Plant physiology is the science that studies plant function : Whatis going on in plants that accounts for their being alive. Plants are not as inanimate as they some-times appear. (It may be difficult to tell a plastic plant from its real counterpart). Studying plant physiology will broaden your appreciation for the many things that are happening inside plants. water and dissolved materials are moving through special transport pathways: water from soil through roots, stems, and leaves to the atmosphere, and inorganic salts and organic molecules in many direction within the plant. Thousands of kinds of chemical reactions are underway in every living cell, transforming water mineral salts, and gases from the environment into organized plant tissue and organs. And from the moment of conception,when a new plant begins as a zygote, until the plant's death, which could be thousands of years late, organized processes of development are enlarging the plant, increasing its complexity, and initiating such qualitative changes in its growth as formation of flowers in season and the loss of leaves in autumn.
