Describe the adaptations of the plant sample (C) -> Aloe vera or Agave. Test the presence of starch in the given chemical solution (D) using a suitable biochemical test. Study comparatively the pH of water samples E1, E2, and E3 obtained from different sources.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a description of plant adaptations, a biochemical test for starch, and a comparative study of pH in water samples from different sources.
Answer
Aloe vera and Agave store water in leaves. Test starch with iodine. Compare water sample pH using strips.
Aloe vera and Agave adapt by storing water in their leaves and having thick, protective outer layers. Test for starch using iodine, which turns blue-black if starch is present. Use pH strips to compare water sample pH levels.
Answer for screen readers
Aloe vera and Agave adapt by storing water in their leaves and having thick, protective outer layers. Test for starch using iodine, which turns blue-black if starch is present. Use pH strips to compare water sample pH levels.
More Information
Aloe vera and Agave are succlent plants making them highly efficient at water retention, beneficial for survival in arid conditions. The iodine test is a standard biochemical method for detecting starch.
Tips
Ensure leaves are fresh for starch tests; pH strips need to be properly calibrated for accurate measurements.
