GCSE Biology - Transport in plants - Translocation (Phloem) and Transpiration (Xylem) #51
Learn how plants transport sugars via the phloem (translocation) and water via the xylem (transpiration) between the roots and leaves. We also cover the factors that affect the rate of transpiration: light intensity, temperature,...

Plant Growth: Auxins and Gibberellins
If a plant has enough water, minerals and energy it will grow right? Well sort of… but there is more to it - like why do plants bend towards the light and not just grow straight? And how come the stem grows up but the roots grow down? It...

The Common Houseplant That Hasn’t Flowered in Almost 60 Years
The pothos plant grows really well in a lot of places, so you’d think they’d be easy to coax blossoms out of, but even the greenest thumbs haven’t seen this plant bloom naturally in over 60 years! Why are the pothos petals so shy?
