growth in plants when mycorrihza is added and when it is not added and to observe and study the importance it has in our nature and life . Abstract: The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is a symbiotic association between plant roots and fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize roots and improve plant nutrition. This‚ in general results in a higher yield of the AM crop‚ especially in poor soils. Due to the fact that this is a symbiotic relationship‚ both the fungus and the plant benefit

Individual plants and animals could not exist by its self on earth. All organisms need other organisms for survival. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms. An ecosystem maintains an important balance in order for all organisms within the ecosystem to survive. The balance involves carbon‚ food‚ nitrogen‚ oxygen and water. The sun supplies the energy needed by ecosystems. Plants absorb the energy and use photosynthesis to convert it to sugar. There are nutrients in the air‚ soil and water

* A food chain shows how each living thing gets food‚ and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with a plant-life‚ and ends with an animal-life Parts of the Food Chain * Producers These include all green plants. Plants are called producers. This is because they produce their own food! They do this by using light energy from the Sun‚ carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce food - in the form of glucose/sugar. These are also

Effects of Microwave on food and nutrients Raisins when cooked in a microwave produce considerable smoke Several studies have shown that if properly used‚ microwave cooking does not affect the nutrient content of foods to a larger extent than conventional heating‚ and that there is a tendency towards greater retention of many micronutrients with microwaving‚ probably due to the reduced preparation time. Microwaving human milk at high temperatures is contraindicated‚ due to a marked decrease

been developed by the Chinese healers who had to transport medicinal herbs and plants over great distances to attend to people who were ill or injured. The healers had to make sure the plants stayed fresh and did not lose their potency. Since they could not transport large trees wherever they went‚ the healers began to devise ways to shrink the plants and still keep them healthy. Although deliberately shortening plants was initially done for practical purposes‚ this craft also began to be seen as

A molecule of water consists of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms joined by covalent bonds. Water as a liquid is vital to existence and plays extremely important roles in many aspects of both plant and animal lives. These aspects include temperature control‚ support‚ chemical reactions‚ transport and protection. Without the ability to control our temperature‚ we as humans would not be able to survive in our natural environment. If our internal body temperature was to rise or fall even a few degrees
