📚 The Complete Guide to Plant Biology

This interactive web app covers the entire curriculum of basic plant biology. Autotrophic Nutrition is the process where organisms like green plants prepare their own food using simple substances (water, $CO_2$) in the presence of sunlight. This process is called Photosynthesis. The chemical equation is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$.

Animals and fungi rely on Heterotrophic Nutrition. This includes Holozoic (eating solid food), Saprophytic (feeding on dead matter), and Parasitic (living on hosts).

Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis with a broad lamina, waxy cuticle (prevents water loss), and stomata (pores for gas exchange controlled by guard cells). Inside the plant, the Xylem (dead cells) transports water upwards, while the Phloem (living cells) transports food (sucrose) in both directions.
