Synopsis
Excerpt from Elementary Studies in Botany
A third subject of study is the work of plants. It must be remembered that plants are living things that use food, grow, and reproduce, and all this means the work of a liv ing body. The study of the structure of plants is like the study of the parts of an engine and how they are put together, but the study of the work of plants is like the study of the engine in action. It is evident that a study of the structures of plants finds its meaning in helping one to understand the activities of plants, just as a study Of the Structure of the human body finds its motive in helping one to understand the human body alive and doing its work.
