Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.
By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)
About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.
Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.
The statement is true. This is because the chemical formula for a salt compound (a compound is made up of two or more atoms of elements) is NaCl, where Na is Sodium, and Cl is Chlorine. Hope this helps!
Answer:
1. Remove a green leaf from the plant
2. Boil the leaf in boiling <u>water stop enzymatic reaction within cells in leaf</u>
3. Put the boiled leaf in boiling tube containing alcohol <u>extract (ethanol) chlorophyll ethanol dissolves Lipids in cell membranes.</u>
4. Return to leave to the hot water <u>soften the leaf and allows penetration of </u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>odine</u>
5. Remove leaf and perform the iodine test
Explanation:
<em>starch is white powdery substance consisting of glucose which is used by plants as food the percents of starch in leaves evidence enough of the process a photosynthesis being carried out in leaves as the formation of starch necessitates photosynthesis</em>.
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
•Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis:
It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.
Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen
water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.
Cellular respiration:
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
In this way it release the carbon dioxide back into atmosphere.
