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.
