Study Notes
Medicinal Properties of Plants
- Plants produce biologically active chemicals that benefit themselves and other organisms.
Reasons for Medicinal Properties
- Plants produce herbicides to inhibit growth of competing plants, enhancing their own survival.
- Plants produce substances to deter insects and herbivores from browsing, promoting self-preservation.
Chemical Compounds in Plants
- Plants produce a wide variety of chemical compounds to maintain vigor, promote growth, and resist environmental challenges.
Photosynthesis in Plants
- Photosynthesis occurs in green plant organs containing mesophyll cells and chlorophyll pigment.
- Plants absorb water (H2O) from soil and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air during photosynthesis.
- Electron molecules from sunlight are used in the photosynthetic process.
Discover the reasons behind the medicinal properties of plants in this lecture. Explore how plants produce biologically active chemicals to enhance their own survival, inhibit the growth of competing plants, and deter browsing by insects and herbivores.
