If we want to learn about plant structure and function, we have to start with the smallest components, and those would be plant cells. Just like animals, plants are made of eukaryotic cells of different types, and in plants these are...

Our bodies are the ultimate factory. Every cell has its specific job to do, and is shaped to do that job perfectly. The fate of each cell is determined during the embryo stage, and then cannot be changed. However, cutting-edge research...

Learn about photosynthesis and the parts of a plant with fun animation for students of all ages, especially fourth graders. Learn how plants make their food using water, air, light, and nutrients. Covers chlorophyll and photosynthesis...

Stem cells are widely believed to hold great promise in medical research because of their ability to transform into all sorts of other cell types, and scientists can grow it in living mice.

A video created for, and aimed at primary school science students learning all about plants. This video will teach students about the relationships plants and animals have with each other.

This video provides an overview of stem cells, including what they are, different types of stem cells (embryonic, adult, and plant meristem), and their potential uses in medicine and plant cloning. The video explains how stem cells can...

Join the Amoeba Sisters in their updated plant structure and adaptations video as they discuss the terms vascular vs nonvascular and how they relate to plants before exploring some general categories of plants (bryophytes, seedless...

Plants are constantly under attack. They face threats ranging from microscopic fungi to small herbivores like caterpillars, up to large herbivores like elephants. But plants are ready, with a whole series of internal and external...

Plants may not seem like they live the most exciting lives, but two new papers published this week point to different types of plants that are actually very cunning and manipulative. One, the parasitic dodder, steals both nutrients and...

We've learned about the types of plant cells, and the types of plant tissues, so the next step up on the hierarchy of organization is organs and organ systems. Plants have these too! The stem, the leaves, the roots, these are all...

A video created for, and aimed at primary school science students learning all about plants. This video will bring students through the overall characteristics of a plant and therefore teach them to identify/define a plant.

This video covers:<br/>
- What we mean by special<br/>ised cells
- How a sperm cell is ad<br/>apted for its funct<br/>ion
- What differentiation is
- Why differentiation is important

Plants possess a wide variety of structures that enable them to accomplish amazing things. This engaging series of videos investigates structures common to most plants and describes how these features enable them to survive. Familiar,...

This video introduces the Discovering Plants series, which explores the diversity of plants and introduces the important characteristics plants have in common. The importance of plants in everyday life is stressed. Terminology includes:...

Students will learn how the structures of plants such as roots, stems, and leaves enable them to live and grow. Real-life applications show how these plant structures are useful sources of food, building materials and medicine. Other...

In this video, we explore the fascinating world of plants. With over 300,000 different kinds of plants, each with unique characteristics, this video highlights the common features and incredible diversity found in the plant...

Hank introduces us to one of the most diverse and important families in the tree of life - the vascular plants. These plants have found tremendous success and the their secret is also their defining trait: conductive tissues that can...

Many people are looking for ways to reduce their consumption of animal products. And these days, there are a ton of plant-based alternatives to help them do that. But many companies are working on ways to make animal-free animal products...

In this video, we will be looking at sexual reproduction in plants. Did you know that there are an estimated 390,900 plant species known to science? This diversity of plant species is, in part, due to sexual reproduction. In plants,...

Plant reproduction comes in two types: sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction is similar to human reproduction, in which male pollen and female ovarian germ cells fuse into a new organism that inherits the genes of both parents. Asexual...

The video is an educational session for biology students on the various plant tissues and their types, with a focus on meristematic tissue and its role in plant growth. The presenter also shares an interesting fact about the fastest...

Plants defend themselves using a variety of physical features such as raphides and trichromes. Let's look at some of these mechanical plant defenses and how they function.
