Tricarpellary

A few of the leaflike, seed-bearing elements that make up a flower’s inner whorl. One or more carpels make up the pistil. A pollen grain from another flower fertilizes an egg within a carpel, resulting in seed development within the carpel. Tricarpellary means having or consisting of three fused carpels. OVARY An ovary is a […]

Treatment for Angina Pectoris

Angina pectoris, or simply Angina, is a chest pain caused by the reduced blood supply to the heart muscle. Because of this, the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen, resulting in chest pain.  One of the most prevalent causes of Angina pectoris is coronary artery disease, which causes constriction of the arteries that supply

Tissue systems

The structural characteristics of the parts of a plant vary by its functional requirements. For instance, the demands of the roots will not be the same as that of the stem. This functional priority is attributed to the tissue and the cells within it. When different types of tissues perform a single function, it creates

Tissue Culture

Introduction Tissue culture is already prevalent among scientists globally. It is the unique process by which they can grow the entire plant just from specific cells of it. This helps them make disease-resistant varieties of plants. To continue with the cultural techniques, you need a nursery or  a greenhouse and trained people. The technique is

Three Main Types of Roots

We all know what a tree looks like above ground, but the underground portion of a tree is equally vital. The roots are frequently referred to as the “root” of a tree’s health, failure, and longevity. Roots are the non-leafy section of a plant’s body that lacks nodes. It is the organ found beneath the

The Shoot System

Living organisms are generally classified as plants and animals. However, there are various other life forms such as bacteria, unicellular organisms, fungi, viruses, etc. too. These life forms are classified based on the structure of their various systems and what functions they perform.  Plants are one such lifeform. The plant structure consists of many complex

The Medulla, or Pith

In Biology, the pith refers to spongy, typically mushy material that is present in the centre of the stems and roots of many plants. This tissue is also known as the Medulla. There are many parenchyma cells in the medulla tissue, a type of plant cell characterised by its large size and thin cell wall.

The Internal Structure of the Monocot Stem

Monocots or monocotyledons are found in grass or grass-like flowering plants, also known as angiosperms. Generally, a flowering plant is categorised based on the number of cotyledons. What fascinates us the most is the internal structure of the monocot stem. A monocot plant is defined based on the presence of a single embryonic leaf, hence

The Fruit

Introduction Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. If the fruit is formed

The following are the objectives of plant taxonomy

Classification is the practice of grouping things into useful categories based on plainly observable characteristics. As a result, all living species can be divided into different taxa based on their properties. Taxonomy is the term for this classifying procedure. The external and internal structure of organisms, as well as cell structure, development process, and ecological
