Thats all for this week. Weve covered a lot of the basics, and this will give
you a strong foundation for future weeks. (And future courses!) It will be helpful for you
to become familiar with new terms and processes; remember that you can always turn to the
glossary to refresh your memory.Next week,
well look at plants from a different perspective. Well move to the microscopic
level and discuss plant cells, including their various parts and functions. Then
well devote some time to three very important plant processes: photosynthesis,
respiration, and transpiration. Finally, well discuss how plants respond to changes
in their environment, and the plant growth regulators involved in this process. See you
then!
