are used or stored. It is also interesting to note that plants have pores‚ called stomata‚ on the underside of the leaves from which oxygen and water vapor moves out into the ambient atmosphere and carbon dioxide moves in‚ in a process called transpiration. Once the carbon dioxide moves into the leaf‚ it diffuses into the plant cells and is taken to the chloroplasts by active transport‚ where in photosynthesis‚ it is combined with water to form glucose. Therefore it can be said that plants do not

The effectiveness of lemongrass essential oil incorporated into starch based bio-coating in lengthening the shelf life of Carica papaya (Papaya) was tested through the application of different concentrations of lemongrass essential oil and starch treatment on the papayas. The Peel Color Index (PCI) of each papaya was determined 4 days after the application of starch bio-coating. Table 1: Mean Peel Color Index of Carica papaya for Day 0 and Day 4.

plants. Plant survival and growth is critically influenced by abiotic factors including water‚ wind‚ and light. But most importantantly (in our experiment) light as it physical alters temperature which directly affects photosynthesis‚ respiration‚ transpiration - loss of water and absorption of water and nutrients. The rate of these processes increases with an increase in temperature responses is different with different crops. The extent of growth and yield responses of plants to elevated CO2 depends

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale for many years. This process‚ known as deforestation‚ involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. If the current rate of deforestation continues‚ the world’s rain forests will vanish soon‚ causing unknown effects on global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet. It would also change the water and oxygen levels dramatically

INTRODUCTION Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was very likely caused by increasing concentrations
