Study of Community Structure | Plant Ecology

In this article we will discuss about the study of community structure. A "vegetation is the sum total of plants covering an area" (Weaver and Clements, 1966) which generally consists of a number of communities. According to Benton and Werner (1974) "a biological community consists of all the organisms living together in an interrelated fashion in a given environment". Biologi­cal [...]

Detection of Carbohydrates in Plants | Practical Botany

In this article we will discuss about the tests for detection of carbohydrates in plants with the help of experiments. Carbohydrates are the condensation products of polyhydroxyaldehydes or polyhydroxyketones and their derivatives. They contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, in which the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen is generally 2: 1. In the living world there are a large number of [...]

Detection of Organic Acids in Plants | Botany

In this article we will discuss about the tests for detection of organic acids in plants with the help of experiments. In plants there are a number of organic acids synthesized and stored in the cytoplasm. All organic acids possess at least a carboxyl group (—COOH). Organic acids are usually formed during carbohydrate metabolism, particularly during Krebs' cycle reactions or [...]
