About plant biology and diversity notes
GoConqr OriginalPlant biology and diversity notes
These notes offer different ways into the unit. The notes on transport in plants cover water transport, transpiration and translocation. Investigating plant mineral deficiencies sets out variables and a method for an investigation. Other notes look at the plant kingdom and land plant evolution.
Choosing and using notes
A useful starting point is Plant Biology Unit 1, which brings together classification, photosynthesis and ecology. For a narrower topic, the notes on Liliaceae or Rosaceae describe features of individual flower families.
When revising, read a section and write down the terms or features you want to remember. Return to the notes to check your account, then compare it with another relevant set. If you want a visual outline, switch to a mind map on the unit page. A quiz can help you check what you recall after reading.

Frequently asked questions
Which notes are a useful place to start?
Plant Biology Unit 1 is a useful starting point if you want notes that bring several topics together, including classification, photosynthesis and ecology. If you are revising a specific process instead, the notes on transport in plants cover water transport, transpiration and translocation.
Are the notes free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels do these notes suit?
The page includes notes for school students, university students and professional candidates, with material for some younger pupils too. Teachers can also use the listed notes as ready-made material. For GCSE revision, the page includes a note titled GCSE Photosynthesis.
