Course: Community Forestry and Tree Management (18502-III) > Section: Explaining Tree Biology

Explanation should include

- definitions
  - photosynthesis
  - cellular respiration
  - transpiration
  - translocation
  - growth
  - sugars
  - water
  - nutrients
  - chlorophyll
  - hormones
  - enzymes
  - mycorrhizae
  - environmental factors

- chemical formulas for photosynthesis and cellular respiration
- relationships among photosynthesis, cellular respiration, transpiration, translocation, and growth
