Plants‚ also called green plants‚ are multicellular eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. They form a clade that includes the flowering plants‚ conifers and other gymnosperms‚ ferns‚ clubmosses‚ hornworts‚ liverworts‚ mosses and the green algae. In biology‚ kingdom (Latin: regnum‚ pl. regna) is the second highest taxonomic rank below domain. Kingdoms are divided into smaller groups called phyla. Traditionally‚ textbooks from the United States used a system of six kingdoms. A fungus (/ˈfʌŋɡəs/; plural:

anoxic events) is a persistent condition of surface waters and a widespread environmental problem (Carpenter‚ 2005). The main cause is excessive loading into the system of phosphorus and nitrogen‚ resulting in high algal biomass‚ dominance by cyanobacteria‚ and loss of macrophytes (Dixit‚ 2005). When the nutrient concentrations rise to extremely high levels‚ eutrophication occurs. There are two stages‚ which begin with the algal bloom. Algal bloom creates a barrier at the surface of the water

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in almost all plants‚ algae‚ and cyanobacteria that are critical for in photosynthesis.(tb) Chlorophyll molecules (C55H70MgN4O6) are attached to the membranes inside the cells called chloroplasts(LH). Plants need to constantly synthesize chlorophyll which requires warm temperatures and sunlight

Evolution of land animals THE LARGEST genetic study ever performed to learn when land plants and fungi first appeared on the Earth has revealed a plausible biological cause for two major climate events: the Snowball Earth eras‚ when ice periodically covered the globe‚ and the era called the Cambrian Explosion‚ which produced the first fossils of almost all major categories of animals living today. According to the authors of the study‚ Science‚ plants paved the way for the evolution of land

The study of shelf life for liquid biofertilizer from vegetable waste showed that contrary to the traditional advice that liquid biofertilizers produced from fermentation by effective microorganisms‚ should be used within three months of production‚ the liquid biofertilizer produced from vegetable waste still contains high amount of viable microbial population after four months of storage with no significant effect of the presence or absence of light (Ngampimol and Kunathigan‚ 2008).

This is the molecule which makes photosynthesis possible‚ by passing its energized electrons on to molecules which will manufacture sugars. All plants‚ algae‚ and cyanobacteria which photosynthesize contain chlorophyll "a". A second kind of chlorophyll is chlorophyll "b"‚ which occurs only in "green algae" and in the plants.Carotenoids are usually red‚ orange‚ or yellow pigments‚ and include the familiar compound carotene
