Ergastic Substances (Cell Inclusions)
- Materials present in vacuoles.
- Starch:
- Found in granules of various shapes.
- Used for plant identification.
- Acid hydrolysis produces glucose.
- β-amylase enzyme hydrolysis yields maltose.
- Iodine test: starch turns blue with iodine solution.
- Protein:
- Stored as aleurone grains.
- Acts as a deterrent for animals and pests.
- Crystals:
- Calcium oxalate crystals.
- Calcium carbonate crystals dissolve with effervescence in dilute acetic, hydrochloric, or sulfuric acid.
Stomata Structure
- Consists of:
- Guard cells:
