Plastids in Plant Cells: Types, Structure & Functions

  Plastids in Plant Cells: Types, Structure & Functions Introduction Plastids are essential organelles found in plant cells and some algae. Coined by A.F.W. Schimper, the term "plastid" refers to various cell structures responsible for photosynthesis, pigment storage, and food storage. Understanding plastids—such as chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts—is fundamental in biology, especially for students preparing for exams in the UK and USA. 📚 Need Help with Biology Notes or Assignments?

Explain What Is Pollination In Brief - Class 12th Bio Notes

   What is Pollination? Types, Mechanisms &                             Importance in Plants Pollination is one of the most essential processes in the life cycle of flowering plants. It refers to the transfer of pollen grains from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of a flower, enabling fertilization and seed formation. This process ensures the continuation of plant species and promotes genetic diversity when it occurs between different plants. 🌼 Types of Pollination in Plants Pollination in plants mainly happens in two ways: • Self-Pollination • Cross-Pollination 1. Self-Pollination In self-pollination, pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. This type of pollination maintains genetic purity but reduces diversity. Self-pollination occurs in two main forms: A) Autogamy Autogamy happens when the pollen grai...
