Nutrition in Plants – Mineral Nutrition- essential minerals for plant growth MODULE - 2 Forms and Function of Plants and Animals 9 Notes NUTRITION IN PLANTS – MINERAL NUTRITION Sometimes you may observe that a potted plant kept in sunlight and provided with sufficient water does not grow. Its leaves look pale and weak. Plant may not even flower properly. Such a situation is an indication‚ that the plant may not be getting all that is required for normal growth and development.

Introduction When plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the

The Determination of the Effect of pH on Amylase Activity Grace Chung Abstract: Amylase is an important enzyme in the human body as it allows for the consumption of starch by breaking the polysaccharide down into maltose units. All enzymes‚ including amylase‚ function best at a certain optimal pH. Therefore‚ in this experiment‚ the effect of different pHs on the reaction rate of amylase is studied. It was hypothesized that the amylase-starch reaction would proceed fastest at a pH closest to

esculenta). Cassava tubers were gathered‚ ground and squeezed to extract starch. Cassava (Manihot esculenta)‚ also called manioc‚ tapioca or yuca‚ is one of the most important food crops in the humid tropics‚ being particularly suited to conditions of low nutrient availability and able to survive drought (Burrell‚ 2003). The plant grows to a height of 1 to 3 m and several roots may be found on each plant. Although cassava leaves are sometimes consumed‚ the major harvested organ is the tuber‚ which is actually

Hydrilla: An Invasive Species Hydrilla verticillata‚ otherwise known as Hydrilla is an aggressive water weed and is said to be one of the world’s worst invasive aquatic plants. Hydrilla in temperate places around the globe and somehow made its way to the United States. Hydrilla has a special advantage; it grows under lower light conditions than nearly any other species‚ it only needs about 1% of sunlight. This advantage allows hydrilla to grow underneath other plants and survive greater depths;

Karnick (1992) carried out a pilot study on 30 obese people and administered them with powdered tubers of C. rotundus for 90 days‚ which resulted in weight reduction along with a decrease in serum cholesterol and triglycerides.

central vacuole that can take up to 90% of cell volume. Plant cells have chloroplast for photosynthesis to create their own food whereas animal cells do not have chloroplasts. In plant cells‚ the function of vacuoles is to store water and maintain turgidity of the cell. Vacuoles in animal cells store water‚ ions and waste. Animal cells have an irregular shape where Plant cells have a fixed shape. Plant
