How does a plant drink, breathe, and build itself from light and water? Atkinson's course begins with protoplasm in living cells and works outward through absorption, osmosis, and the workings of the whole plant. A clear, experiment-based introduction for the beginning botanist. Start at the cell and grow your understanding of plant life.
