How plants drink and grow: watch hydration shape their size and pace of growth.
This edition examines how water interacts with plant matter to drive swelling and development. It covers how different cell masses respond to water, acids, salts, and temperature, and why environmental conditions can alter growth rates.
Hydration is shown as a balance between water binding to solid material and the effects of nutrients, salts, and acids. The book describes experiments with gels, proteins, and plant tissues to illustrate how swelling begins quickly and can continue for days under certain conditions. It also compares distilled water, nutrient solutions, and swamp water to reveal how the environment can slow or speed up hydration and growth.- Understand how water uptake starts and then proceeds through adsorption and surface interactions in plant colloids.
- See how acids, salts, and different compositions shift swelling and growth in experiments with agar, oat protein, and other materials.
- Learn how temperature and external water quality, like swamp water, influence the rate and total amount of hydration.
- Discover how environment changes relate to real-world plant growth and adaptation.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
