Climate Change Impacts on Secondary Metabolites of Plants

Climate Change Impacts on Secondary Metabolites of Plants Overview As an Undergraduate Biological Sciences teacher, you can use this set of computer based tools to enable students in developing a comprehensive understanding about the core topics of plant pathology, mycology, plant response to biotic stress and medicinal botany. Plants being immobile, synthesize a diversity of […]

Carbon Dioxide and Photosynthetic Rates

Carbon Dioxide and Photosynthetic Rates Classroom/Laboratory Activity A classroom/laboratory activity that shows how to measure the rate of photosynthesis and its changes under different conditions including high concentrations of carbon dioxide, a potential contributor to climate change. Students will be able to explore, measure, and determine the rate at which photosynthesis occurs under one independent […]

Photosynthesis and Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Photosynthesis and Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Classroom/ Laboratory Activity A classroom/laboratory activity that shows how to measure the rate of photosynthesis and its changes under different conditions including high concentrations of carbon dioxide, a potential contributor to climate change. Students will be able to explore, measure, and determine the rate at which photosynthesis occurs under one […]

Photosynthesis Under Variable Environmental Conditions

Photosynthesis Under Variable Environmental Conditions Classroom/Laboratory Activity A simple simulator that allows users to change a range of variables such as the color of light, brightness of light, and carbon dioxide concentration, and then note their impact on the photosynthetic efficiency of a plant. Use this tool to help your students find answers to: What […]

The Effect of Climate Change on Photosynthetic Pathways

The Effect of Climate Change on Photosynthetic Pathways Video A micro-lecture that describes the different photosynthetic pathways in plants and the potential effect of climate change on these processes and pathways. This lecture by Raghu Murtugudde, University of Maryland, created for the TROP ICSU project at IISER Pune, India, highlights the difference between C3 and […]
