What is the biological importance of variegated plants?
Leaves that do not have a uniform colour are called variegated leaves.
What does the presence of blue color means in variegated leaf experiment of photosynthesis?
By blue color I assume you mean an added dye that shows how some parts of the leaf can photosynthesize and others not. The easiest of these experiments is to place the leaf in boiling ethanol (alcohol) and when drained of colour spread out on a flat surface. Soak the leaf in iodine and the green parts will turn blue/black and the non green parts will stay the yellowish brown colour of iodine. The green parts contain starch (a more compact form of glucose) which makes iodine turn blue/black. The blue/black is what will show starch is present.
What other plant leaf looks like a pot leaf?
There are many plants that look like pot leaves, some of them related to the pot leaf and some not. Some examples include Cleome, Kenaf, and Japanese maple.
What are some examples of alternate leaves?
Examples of plants with alternate leaves include maples, oaks, birches, and sycamores. In these plants, a single leaf is attached at each node along the stem in a staggered pattern, rather than in pairs opposite each other.
What are the names of plants that grow from leaves?
Some common plants that can be grown from leaves include jade plant (Crassula ovata), African violet (Saintpaulia), and spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum). These plants can be propagated by taking a healthy leaf or leaf cutting and encouraging it to grow roots.
What is the biological importance of variegated plants?
Leaves that do not have a uniform colour are called variegated leaves.
How can I identify a variegated leaf plant?
To identify a variegated leaf plant, look for leaves that have different colors or patterns, such as stripes or spots. These plants often have a mix of green, white, yellow, or pink on their leaves. You can also check the plant's label or do some research online to see if it is known for having variegated leaves.
Why do only some parts of a variegated leaf make starch?
Only the green parts of variegated leaves contain chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis to produce starch. Without chlorophyll, the non-green parts lack the ability to photosynthesize and make starch. This results in only the green areas of the variegated leaf being able to produce energy through photosynthesis.

What are the names of some plants that can reproduce without planting a seed?
You can get more daylilies by splitting them. You can get more strawberries by allowing the runners to form new plants. Some plants will grow if you cut off a leaf and stick the leaf in dirt such as ivy or African violet.
Why your piranha bites your plants leaf?
Some Piranha species are plant eaters.
Why does some aquatic plants have hairy leaf surfaces?
To prevent water loss

What are some special plants?
Stem cells and leaf cells are two speacilized plant cells.
Do variegated plants live as long as their non variegated coutnerparts?
There is no simple answer to this question. Plants are variegated for various reasons; some species are variegated as an adaptation, such as Maranta, and they come to no harm. Others have variegated varieties like some agaves, and at least some of those are chimeras, with more than one kind of parent plant tissue making up their leaves. They don't seem to come to much harm either; many of them grow as well as their solid-coloured siblings. As a rule, if they produce viable seeds, the seedlings are single- coloured. However, some plants are mutants that produce little or no chlorophyll, and they either do very poorly or die if not artificially fed sugars. Another kind of variegation results from a shortage, a deficiency, of certaon foods, mostly mineral elements. Usually this is a shortage of the trace elements iron, manganese, zinc or the major nutrient element magnesium in the soil. If that is so, the plants need a suitable trace mineral (or magnesium) fertiliser. Sometimes the soil contains plenty of the trace elements, but the plant is unable to absorb such minerals because their compounds in that soil are too insoluble . Then the plant usually needs suitable fungi around their roots to extract the minerals for them. Shortages of such elements prevent the plant of producing as much chlorophyll as it needs, so the leaves become variegated. Some kinds of virus diseases also produce variegation, and some of them are produced as standard decorative garden varieties. However, plants that are variegated as a result of viral infection or shortage of vital minerals, are likely to look miserable and do poorly. Many of them will not do well, and may not live as long as healthy plants. Sometimes a plant grown as a decorative variegated garden subject will produce a healthy, plain-coloured shoot , and that shoot is spectacularly healthier and faster-growing than any other part of the plant. This gives some idea of how much harm the infection is doing the plant. How much that matters is for the gardener to decide; perhaps he or she does not want a vigorously growing or plain-coloured weed, and prefers a miserable, well-disciplined garden subject. Some other people regard variegation as an offensive sign of ill health. Take your own pick; there is no simple way to settle such matters of taste. But you will very rarely find agricultural plants with any fancy variegation.
Can a leaf numb your mouth if you chew on it?
Yes, some plants contain compounds that can cause numbness when chewed, such as the numbing effect caused by the leaves of the Sichuan pepper plant. However, it is important to be cautious, as not all plants that cause numbness are safe to ingest and can be toxic.
What is a omnivores that lives in a pond?
some plants underneath the water like the leaf things that frogs go on.
