Mayana leaves contain starch, while hydrilla leaves do not contain starch. Starch is a carbohydrate storage molecule that plants produce through photosynthesis.
Hydrilla is a producer, like most green plants, so it doesn't actually "eat" anything. It uses photosynthesis (turns sun, water, and Carbon Dioxide into sugars). The sugars from photosynthesis provide all the nutrients that it needs.
Stomata in hydrilla plants are typically found on the upper surface of the leaves. They are small pores that allow for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the plant and its environment.
The scientific name of hydrilla is Hydrilla verticillata.
Oxygen to Hydrilla plant is available through water, however, it needs O2 for respiration which is radially available as a byproduct of photosynthesis
Yes, hydrilla is a flowering aquatic plant. While it is not commonly grown for its flowers, hydrilla does produce small male and female flowers on separate plants.
