Xanthophyceae (Yellow Green Algae)
General characteristics of Xanthophyceae Members of Xanthophyceae are commonly fresh water (Tribonema) and most of them are free floating. Plant body is unicellular (Heterochloris) or multicellular. The multicellular bodies also exhibit various forms like: Palmelloid (Chlorogloea), dendroid (Mischococcus), coccoid (Chlorobotrys), rhizopodial (Stipitococcus). Cells are eukaryotic with silica and pectin in cell wall. Chief pigment are…
FLOW OF HEAT
Heat is a form of energy that always flows from a hot body to a cold body. This flow of heat is known as transmission or transfer of heat. Heat travels from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature in three ways. Conduction Convection Radiation CONDUCTION When the transfer of heat…
SOIL – Class 7
Soil is the upper most part of the surface of land. It contains many particles in it. FORMATION OF SOIL Weathering is a process in which huge rocks are broken down by the action of heat, wind, water and other natural and anthropogenic way to form small particles called soil. Formation of soil is a…
Thermodynamics
The word “Thermo” means Heat and “Dynamics” means flow. Thus, thermodynamics implies the flow of heat. But, now this term is used in much broader sense not only with heat rather with all forms of energies like chemical, physical, electrical energy, radiant energy, kinetic and potential energy. The study of this branch of science based…
General Characteristics of Chlorophyceae (Green Algae)
Grass green chromatophores. Presence of starch as reserve food Members of green algae mostly green in fresh water, a few in brackish and saline water and few are terrestrial. They show wide range of variations in their thallus structure like unicellular motile (Chlamydomonas), Coenobium(Volvox), palmelloid (Tetrospora), non motile (Chlorella), Dendroid (Ecballocystis), filamentous branched (Cladophora) and unbranched (Spirogyra), heterotrichous (Coleochaete), siphonaceous…
