Leaf

known as “leaf turtles,” the species names in the following list demonstrate one of the weaknesses of common names. In both appearance and range, these species are diverse even as they are all native to Asia: 1. Cyclemys dentata (Asian leaf turtle, aka Brown stream terrapin); 2. Cyclemys tcheponensis (Stripe-necked leaf turtle); 3. Geoemyda spengleri (Black-breasted leaf turtle or Chinese leaf turtle, aka Vietnamese Wood Turtle); 4. Mauremys (Annamemys) annamensis (Vietnamese or Annam leaf…

Which adversity knocks on your door, what is your response? Adversity implies a difficult situation, condition, and misfortune. Jock Ewing once quoted, "Any man can win when things go his way, it 's the man who overcomes adversity that is the true champion." These troubles we encounter in life should motivate us to bring out the full potential one can be. Adversity builds a closer tie for man to man conflicts, developing one into a more capable and mature individual. Affliction is a main part…

Guava leaf, most especially the sprout contains compounds that can help suppress infection and bacteria termination to stop inflammation of the affected area. So here’s the content that makes guava leaves a lovable anti-infection agent: Guava leaf contains Tannic Acid Tannic acid can also be found in the nutgalls – a gall that looks like a nut that is formed by insects especially…

Leaves Chlorophyll and Active Iron Content Figure 1 represents leaves chlorophyll and active iron of Le Conte pear as affected by different iron concentrations used in this work. In general, both leaf chlorophyll content and active iron gradually increases by increasing the concentration (Conc.) of iron. The highest significant were achieved by high Conc. (1000 and 2000 ppm) with no differ between them, except the 2nd season in active iron. Meanwhile, the lowest significant recorded by the…

observed distribution of plants with purple stem and green leaves is significantly different from the distribution expected under Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment which predicted a ration of nine purple stem/green leaf, three purple stem/yellow leaf, three green stem/green leaf, and one green stem/yellow plants (ratio: 9:3:3:1). There are a few reasons as to why this has happened to my results compared to those of students from previous years. One very plausible reason for have such…

the line is y=0. This supports the hypothesis because there are no floating disks. For the 0.2% bicarbonate solution, it was hypothesized that if the leaf disks in this solution were placed under a lamp, then the disks would float. Figure 5.1 supports this claim, as there is an almost linear increase in the amount of floating disks over time. The leaf disks in the bicarbonate solution are exposed to enough light, H2O, and CO2 that they can produce enough oxygen to cause floating. If the 0.2%…

The genus Brassica is one of 51 genera in the tribe Brassiceae belonging to thecrucifer family, and is the economically most important genus within this tribe,containing 37 different species. Many crop species areincluded in the Brassica genus, which provide edible roots, leaves, stems, buds,flowers and seedCrops.Crops belonging to this genus are occasionally called Cole crops—derived from the Latin caulis, denoting the stem or branch of a plant.[1] Members of Brassica commonly used for food…

Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) has made great strides in enforcing the importance of ensuring equality and protection towards all women in Canada particularly in regards to sexual assault. For instance, LEAF’s legal background helped create Section 15 and Section 28 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which has enabled them to advocate and intervene in many legal cases where they believe women are at risk of mistreatment and discrimination not only in the legal system, but in…
