Did i made the right choice?
Does it matter?

Definition of courage : the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.

BLOGGING!
After school, some of us have biology extra lesson.

SUMMARY!
General equation; photosynthesis
water + carbon dioxide ----------->Oxygen+ glucose
------------------------sunliught---------------------

Take note the limiting factor of photosynthesis,
Light intensity , carbon dioxide, temperature.

How to test for starch in the leaf.
1) put the leaf in boiling water for 2 minutes [denature emzyme to stop conversion of starch to glucose.
2) soak the leaf in hot alcohol for 10 minutes to remove chlorophyll [ for clear colour identification]
3)put in boiling water again to soften the leaf
4) test for starch using iodine.

Note that if starch is present, it turns from yellowish brown to bluish black.

The structure of the leaf is also important:
Epidermal cells
palisade cells
mesophyll cells
guard cells

However, only palisade cells, mesophyll cells and guard cells contain chlorophyll.
Most chloroplasts are located in the palisade cells.

The functions of this few structure of leaf is also important.

The plant nutrients is also classified as M&N.
Magnesium and Ntrates

Without magnesium, there could also not be photosynthesis.
Magnesium is an important component of chlorophyll.
Nitrates provide nitrogen needed for making amino acids.

[-water]
[-chlorophyll]
[Importance of Photosynthesis]
[-Stores energy from the sun as chemcial energy]
[- Helps mantain balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atomsphere]
[- Supplies food for animals]
Transport in plants
The xylem and Phloem.
Xylem tissues have lignified walls for support.
Now thinking of biology, did Ms Wang returned me my TEXTBOOK?
