Meristems are undifferentiated, embryonic tissues found in the tips of stems and roots of plants. They are responsible for the continuous growth and development of plants. Two primary types of meristem are apical meristem and lateral meristem. In this essay, we will explore the differences between apical and lateral meristem. What is Apical Meristem? The apical meristem is the growing tip of the stem or root. It is responsible for the primary growth of plants, including the growth in height, length, and branching of stems and roots. Apical meristem is found at the apex of the stem or root and ... Read More

Algae and Fungi belong to the class Thallophyte (lower-order plants) of the Kingdom Plantae. Both are plant-like organisms, but they don't have conventional features of a plant such as leaves, stem, or root. Some Algae and Fungi are toxic and some are not. They both are useful for humans. Algae make 70% of the oxygen on Earth. Many aquatic animals depend on algae for their survival. Fungi contribute to reducing environmental pollution and increasing soil quality. Thus, both organisms play a vital role to preserve the balance in an ecosystem. Go through this article to understand the differences between Algae ... Read More

Do you know that the invention of Nanotechnology for which we are patting our back actually exists in our world from the beginning? Yes, some of our plants and animals have that special capability of Nanosensors inbuilt in their body to carry out some special functions? The awesome technology which we discovered recently is not new for them. They have been using the Nanosensors since their creation in this world. They have that special ability to detect the minute particle for which we are taking help of Nanosensors.You may be aware that, Nanosensors are one of the great inventions of ... Read More

A fertilizer is basically a chemical or natural substance that is added to the soil or land in order to increase its fertility and get more yield of the crops and also fastens the pace of growth of the crops.Natural fertilizers are those which we can obtain naturally such as cow dung, where chemical fertilizers are are those fertilizers that have to be made using chemical substances and then used on the plant.Let us discuss the effects of using chemical fertilizers over natural fertilizers and whether it is beneficial or not.Chemical FertilizersChemical fertilizers are high in nutrients content such as ...

While walking near any lake or forest around the sea, you might have seen a different and unique feature of some trees, whose roots are not under but above the ground. They are known as Mangrove trees and they have aerial roots.Now, the reason why have roots above the land is that they are the underground root type which needs and demands more oxygen. Under the ground, the soil is not able to support or provide enough oxygen to the roots and therefore this root system outgrows aerial roots which grow vertically up to the fresh air above the soil.Read More

Transport in plants occurs at three levels: cellular, absorption of water and nutrients and transportation of water and nutrients.The first level that is the cellular transport, wherein the solutes and ions are transferred from one cell to another through Diffusion and Osmosis process.The second level is the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil by the roots. It is a well-known fact that as the surface area increases, the absorption increases.The third level of transport is the transfer of water and nutrients from the root to the top of the plant for around hundred meters of length through a ...

I think you mean water filters here. If so, it can be tricky to find out a good dirty water filter and filtration system, which suits your requirements. In my opinion, we have to first find out how much the water is exactly dirty. Does it have hard solids or soft solids? Is there any quantity of living organisms?Following are the filter to purify water with a low concentration of solids:Y-Strainers, Cartridge filters, Sand and other media filters.Filters for Low Medium Concentration of Solids:Y-Strainers, Cartridge filters, Rotor flush Self-Cleaning filters, Sand and other Media Filters, Self Cleaning Screen Filters and ...
