The carbon and energy obtained by plants is not only dependent on photosynthesis‚ but also cellular respiration (Reddy et al. 1970). Cellular respiration‚ an array of metabolic processes‚ in plants is the oxidation of the chemical energy from acquired nutrients into energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. In a germinating pea‚ which respires‚ the mitochondria provides cellular ATP‚ this is possible because it is utilizing stored nutrients (Stupnikova et al. 2006) In order to determine

Mangrove Analysis Report [By Nathania Burrie] [User: TaniaSmartTwit] [March 2002] Introduction Coastal mud flats throughout the tropics carry a vegetation of mangrove swamp‚ which is particularly luxuriant in the wet tropics‚ such as Cairns itself. These evergreen trees and shrubs share similar habitat preferences‚ and a similar appearance to the untrained eye. This report will explain my findings in this biological topic‚ and describe the adaptations the mangroves have developed in order to

pointed out the extensive spoilage of apples in storage as one of the major problems‚ to the Government. One Franklin Kidd and another Cyril West were appointed to study ways to improve fruit storage. Applying information obtained while studying seed germination‚ Kidd and West demonstrated that fruit ripening could be retarded by increasing carbon dioxide and lowering oxygen in the storage atmosphere. And‚ from that day onwards and still ongoing‚ constant efforts are being made to control the atmosphere

growth. During the germination process‚ the seed absorbs moisture and nutrients from the soil and begins to form the plant. When the seed coating reaches full capacity‚ it breaks open and reveals the root‚ also known as the radicle‚ which emerges deep into the soil. As the radicle grows downward‚ the cotyledons form the plumule‚ which contains the stem and first leaves of the tomato plant. Tomatoes respond well to warm temperatures. The minimum temperature for seed germination is 10°C with a maximum
