Biology articles for post-16 students
In this cluster of articles, students investigate aspects of plant biology and behaviour including chloroplast genes and how they have helped biologists understand plant evolution; how plants monitor the intensity, direction, colour and duration of the light they receive and if attacked by herbivores or pathogens how plants respond by synthesising additional physical and chemical defences and so increasing their resistance to subsequent assaults. The resources include an article and teachers' notes.

Plants Fight Back - Physical and Chemical Defences in Plants
One of a series of articles for post-16 students published by Science and Plants for Schools (SAPS). Plants attacked by herbivores or pathogens respond by synthesising additional physical and chemical defences and so increasing their resistance to subsequent assaults. The induced defences are initiated close to the...
Green Genes – DNA Inside Chloroplasts
One of a series of articles for post-16 students published by Science and Plants for Schools (SAPS). Chloroplasts evolved from photosynthetic bacteria and contain DNA encoding a remnant of their original bacterial genes.
This booklet discusses how the study of chloroplast genes has helped biologists...
Seeing Without Eyes - Plants, Photoreceptors and Gene Expression
One of a series of articles for post-16 students published by Science and Plants for Schools (SAPS). Plants monitor the intensity, direction, colour and duration of the light they receive and use this information to adapt their growth and metabolism to their particular environment. Most plant responses to light...
Concentrations and Dilutions: a Survival Guide
This resource from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) is presented as a survival guide for students, describing how to handle numbers correctly, standard form, the use of scientific calculators, the definition of a mole, calculating molarity, Avogadro’s number, how to express concentrations and how to...
