The Murray Darling Basin is facing many environmental challenges and issues; including salinity. The Murray Darling Basin is one of the largest catchments in the world but it is also one of the driest (Mdba.gov.au‚ 2015). The basin is world-renowned with it being one of Australia’s most iconic and oldest river systems; the Murray Darling is over 350 million years old (Mdba.gov.au‚ 2015). The Murray Darling Basin is located in the South- East of Australia (refer to appendix A). The Murray Darling

In these plants water is absorbed by the roots and carried to the leaves by the xylem‚ and carbon dioxide is obtained from air that enters the leaves through the stomata and diffuses to the cells containing chlorophyll.

Cell wall is a fairly rigid‚ protective and supportive layer surrounding the cell external to plasma membrane of plants‚ bacteria‚ archaea‚ fungi and algae. It is absent in animals and most protists. It was first observed by Robert Hooke in 1665. It is not an entirely rigid structure as the cell wall expands due to the growth of the cell. It varies in thickness from o.1mm to I0mm.in most of the cells‚ cell wall is present from the very beginning to the last‚ but in slime molds (myxomycetes)
