Behind it is a park, and the longer I stare, the deeper it becomes embedded in the natural landscape, after a bit I forget it’s there.

Ackerbohne gedeiht trotz eines hyperaktiven Ionenkanals

Wie der menschliche Körper nutzen auch Pflanzen elektrische Signale zur Verarbeitung und Weitergabe von Informationen. Neben der Zellmembran spielt dabei die Membran der Zentralvakuole eine bedeutende Rolle. Vakuolen sind typisch für Pflanzenzellen.
