The spectrophotometer includes a light bulb‚ a reflector‚ and a detector. When a sample is in place and the chamber lid is closed‚ light from the light bulb passes through it. The detector measures the amount of light

that when a plant cell absorbs carbon dioxide and water alongside sunlight then the plant will put off glucose and oxygen gas in result. This process is where humans and other heterotrophs get their oxygen to survive. Sunlight is captured through a pigment called chlorophyll‚ which absorbs every color light wave expect green‚

Without chlorophyll the leaves lose their green coloring and other pigments in leaves that were masked by the green pigment begin to become more prominent. This explains why leaves go from green to brown‚ orange‚ red‚ and sometimes purple. When this color change happens the leaves develop a special tissue called an Abscission Layer‚ which allows the leaves to break off in the winter by weakening the connection between the leaf and the tree. This layer also helps cease the production of remaining

be found in swamps‚ bogs‚ damp heaths and muddy or sandy shores. Drosophyllum lusitanicum from Portugal and Morocco is the one exception‚ it grows on dry gravelly hills. Like other green plants‚ carnivorous plants contain the organic pigment chlorophyll. This pigment helps to mediate a chemical process called photosynthesis. This converts light energy into the chemical bond energy of carbohydrate which is utilized as cellular energy‚ plant growth and development. Water‚ carbon dioxide‚ nutrients

chlorophyll‚ the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves‚ and little to none occurs in stems.. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts‚ thus photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The stomates are holes which occur primarily in the lower epidermis and are for air exchange: they let CO2 in and O2 out. The vascular bundles or veins in a leaf are part of the plant’s

The essential oil from fruits was extracted by hydrodistillation and the chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The yield of essential oil based on the dry weight of the plant was 0.05 % (v/w). Twenty two compounds accounting for 99.2 % of the total oil were identified. The main compounds were 9‚ 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Antimycobacterial Studies An Antimycobaterial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth and activities of disease causing Mycobacteria (e.g.‚ Mycobacterium tuberculosis‚ Mycobacterium Leprae‚ etc) that are responsible for fatal diseases such as Tuberculosis and leprosy. Antimicrobacterials can either kill microbes (microbiocidal) or prevent the growth of microbes (microbiostatic) (Hannan et al.‚ 2011). Mycobacterium is a genius in the family of the Mycobacteriaceae
