Introduction In order to understand the plasmolysis in epidermal peels of rhoeo leaves, it can be stated that two experiments have been conducted by using the solution of NaCl salt. The study involves the epidermal peelings or layering where the cells of the plants are placed in a hypertonic and hypotonic solution of sugar or salt. What is Plasmolysis? The process through which the cells lose water when they are kept in a hypertonic solution which has a higher rate of concentration of solutes is determined as plasmolysis.

Introduction A French naturalist named Julien Joseph Vesque first discovered stomata. He developed a model of stoma formation. Later, two other scientists named Metcalfe and Chalk further developed it. In land plants, scientists have stated that the stomata appear in the middle of the Silurian period, however, the evolution process has very little proof in terms of the fossil records. They are the results of the plants’ algae evolution. What are Stomata? Figure 1: Stomata Stomata can be defined as the most crucial part of the plants that can help in the gaseous exchange between ... Read More

Introduction Imbibition is the most important part that takes place before germination. It helps the seeds or more specifically plant's absorption of the water. It is a process of diffusion, which only takes place when the solids or colloids absorb the water and increases in volume. It causes swelling in the seeds which causes the breaking of the seed coat. What is Imbibition? Imbibition can be defined as a phenomenon, where the solids or the colloids absorb the water and it occurs without any kind of solution formation. In the case of seeds, the imbibition is the first ... Read More

Introduction Red algae can be witnessed in abundance in seaside atmospheres. However, they can also be witnessed in freshwater. It can be found both in the freshwater and marine which is one of the unique characteristics of red algae. Moreover, the visible growth pattern of the red algae is a diffuse pattern which includes apical growth and complex oogamy. Figure 1: Red Algae Red Algae Morphology The morphology of the red algae varies in different forms due to the unicellular complexity found in the parenchymatous and non-parenchymatous thallus.
