Abstract
Much of this unit deals with movement of materials into, out of and within the plant. A thorough understanding of the movement of molecules is essential (Unit 6). A basic knowledge of biological molecules, cell structure, respiration and photosynthesis is also important (Units 3,4,9 and 10). Other aspects of plant physiology are covered in Units 23–25.
