In this article we will discuss about the tests for detection of proteins and amino acids in plants with the help of experiments. Proteins and other elated nitrogenous compounds are the principle constituents of protoplasm and are directly involved in all the physiological processes taking place in the living cells. Proteins of all kinds are synthesized from amino acids, which [...]
The following points highlight the five methods of sampling plant communities. The methods are: 1. Transect Method 2. Bisect 3. Trisect 4. Ring Counts 5. Quadrat Method. 1. Transect Method: When the vegetation is to be studied along an environmental gradient or eco-tone (e.g. tropical to temperate, high or low rainfall areas or precipitation gradient, adjacent areas with different types [...]
Enzymes are thermo-labile organic catalysts which are very much sensitive to heat and pH. The activity of a number of respiratory enzymes could be detected within plant tissue by suitable tests. (a) Detection of Dehydrogenase: This enzyme accomplishes intracellular oxidation and reduction by the transfer of hydrogen from one type of molecule to another. The importance of such enzyme is [...]
