The human body is a very complex working system and it requires a lot of energy to function properly. The human body eats food molecules that contain nutrients in order to get the energy needed to function. Once these food molecules are broken down in the human body some of the nutrients are made into glucose‚ which is an energy source. This glucose is not quite usable as one whole thing so our body breaks down even more into other molecules like pyruvate. Eventually the human body needs to make

3.8.1.2 Leaf area and leaf area index (LAI) Leaf area of five randomly selected plants‚ was measured with the help of leaf area meter (Model LI-3100‚ USA) at 20‚ 40 and 60 DAS by destructive sampling from all leaves of the five sample plants (Sticker et al.‚ 1961). Plants were cut at the soil surface‚ leaves were separated from the plants‚ covered with blotting paper to keep the leaf intact and retain its original shape and were brought to the laboratory. Leaf area was measured immediately after
