Plant Material Collection Fully grown whole plants of Tribulus terrestris Linn. were collected from different localities of Chennai, Tamilnadu. The fruits were separated out from the plants and washed in running tap water to remove adhering dirt and soil particles and dried first under shade in room temperature and secondly in a hot-air oven for complete drying at 50-60˚C. The dried fruits were made into coarse powder by grinding and stored in labelled bottles for further study and…

Studies have determined that the plant has a level of protein and digestibility equal to the Leucaena. It has a high protein and its use for low forage species and growth especially in heavy soils is recommended. The dry matter production is about 7.6 ton/ha/cut, in Hawaii can produce up to 23 ton/ha/cut and in Australia up to 70 ton/ha/ year. Hawaii plants are mechanically cut to a height of 5 to 7.5 cm. ground. Cutting intervals 91 days to obtain…

Photosynthesis is the process where energy from the sun gets converted into glucose for the plant to use as food. The energy from the sun gets trapped in the chloroplasts and together with carbon dioxide and water, it is turned into glucose and oxygen. The glucose eventually gets used as energy for the plant to live and the oxygen is a waste product that is released. The oxygen is used by humans during cellular respiration. Photosynthesis began over 2 billion years ago when an organism first…

Plants gain a lot of nutrients in their daily lives. They get it mostly from water and also the soil. Water is a molecule made up of the following atoms, Hydrogen and Oxygen. In this molecule the electrons are not shared equally between these atoms. Electrons are negatively charged so if they spend more time around an atom the atom becomes negative. The electrons turn Oxygen negative because they spend more time together. The reason for the electrons to be around Oxygen is because Oxygen has…

Title: To investigate the reproductive structures of the plants and to understand its importance in the survival of plant species. Introduction: Angiosperms are the dominant form of plant life in most terrestrial ecosystems, comprising about 90 percent of all plant species. Most crop and ornamental plants are angiosperms. Their success results, in part, from two innovative structures: the flower and the fruit. Flowers are derived evolutionarily from modified leaves. The main parts of a flower…

green on the other side of the leaf. Buckthorn out competes native plants for nutrients, light , and moisture and degrades the wildlife habitat. This causes many other native plants to be endangered and die , since it outcompetes many native plants. Threatening the many other area of the forest and future forests , wetlands , prairies , and other natural habitats. Buckthorn helps/contributes to erosion by shading out other plants that grow on the forest floor. Not only does it contribute…

the top of the food chain but it did not know how to protect itself when a new predator came to the northern islands. Bald eagles also lived on the northern islands and on Santa Catalina Island. But with the introduction of DDT used in WWII the chemical made the eggs of the eagle brittle and the eggs would break as parents would try to incubate them. Thus the bald eagle population decreased. This large bird of prey specializes in eating fish and sea birds and did not prey on the island fox. As…

Tabacu seeds and Albinism Introduction In plants, the chloroplast is an essential organelle for a plant cell’s primary metabolism. Productions such as CO2 fixation, manufacture of carbon skeletons and fatty acids, and synthesis of amino acids from inorganic nitrogen that is important for a plant to live and thrive. (Liu, Li, & Cheng, 2016) In addition, the chloroplast is responsible for producing the color pigment in plants because chloroplast produces a chemical called Chlorophyll. The…

primary consumer because it only feeds on plants, which makes it an herbivore. Food webs are more complex than food chains, but they represent what goes on in real life much better than a food chain. Producers are organisms that can make their own food using energy and simple inorganic compounds. Producers are also called autotrophs. For example, green plants are autotrophs because they manufacture their food they need through photosynthesis. The balance chemical equation for photosynthesis is…

In the essay “Hope for Animals and Their World,” Jane Goodall attempts to persuade us about the importance of insects being part of the ecosystem. This essay proves the fact that insects and nature benefit us in several ways, such as helping crops grow, limiting the population of other bugs, and much more. However, we hardly return anything that benefits the ecosystem but instead, harms it. Goodall is capable of portraying this message through her ardent tone, as she is passionate towards…
