The flour produced from the cassava plant‚ which on account of its low content of noncarbohydrate constituents might well be called a starch‚ is known in world trade as tapioca flour. It is used directly‚ made into a group of baked or gelatinized products or manufactured into glucose‚ dextrins and other products. Starchy foods have always been one of the staples of the human diet. They are mostly consumed in starch-bearing plants or in foods to which commercial starch or its derivatives have been

the plant. This means that guard cells on the stomata are generally inactive. 3. An increased number of stomata‚ that can be on either side of leaves. 4. A less rigid structure: water pressure supports them. 5. Flat leaves on surface plants for flotation. 6. Air sacs for flotation. 7. Smaller roots: water can diffuse directly into leaves. 8. Feathery roots: no need to support the plant. 9. Specialized roots able to take in oxygen. Floating All floating plants

are more to aquatic plants than just floating on the surface of water. Aquatic plants are plants that can adapt and live in a freshwater environment. They are sometimes called hydrophytes. These include plants that live in fresh wetlands‚ swamps‚ ponds‚ lakes‚ and marshes. This type of plant actually serves two important functions. First‚ they help oxygenate water (2006) and they provide nutrients and food for some fishes (Tappin‚ 2003). There are many types of aquatic plants including rooted‚ emergent

Abstract: Symbiosis is very important in the plant world. Fungus has a symbiotic relationship with other plants. This may help the plant through tough times‚ for example; droughts and long winters. There are many careers that study the problems of symbiotic plants. Symbiosis with Plants Symbiosis with plants is very important. Fungus helps the plant live through tough times. There is a lot of information available about symbiosis but there are also many unanswered questions. Certain careers

between plants and people is made possible by the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis. While cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms‚ photosynthesis relies on chlorophyll and is unique to plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria. Respiration and photosynthesis are essentially the same process in reverse. During photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are converted to glucose and oxygen‚ while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen which are converted to CO2 and H20. Plants utilize

Plant nutrition The elements which are required to complete life cycle of plant‚ are called nutrition elements. In the absence of any of the elements‚ plants can not complete their life cycle and these can not be supplemented by other elements. Elements required for Plant nutrition Classification These essential plant nutrients are classified into two on the basis of quantity required‚ such as – (a) Macronutrient and (b) Micronutrient Macronutrient The elements which are required in relatively

INTRODUCTION Cotton is a soft‚ fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll‚ or protective capsule‚ around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. The botanical purpose of cotton fiber is to aid in seed dispersal. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world‚ including the Americas‚ Africa‚ and India. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make

Cell Transformation Cell transformation is when a cell takes in DNA from the outside of the cell. It then becomes a component of the cell’s DNA. There are three different ways in transforming the cells. There is transforming bacteria‚ transforming plant cells‚ and transforming animal cells. The purpose of cell transformation is to introduce a foreign plasmid in order to make large quantities of it. In transforming bacteria‚ a foreign DNA is first joined to a small circular DNA molecule known
