  2. Hydrophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophile

    Hydrophilic substances (ex: salts) can seem to attract water out of the air. Sugar is also hydrophilic, and like salt is sometimes used to draw water out of foods. Sugar sprinkled on cut fruit will "draw out the water" through hydrophilia, making the fruit mushy and wet, as in a common strawberry compote recipe.

  3. Hydroponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroponics

    The zinc content of commercially available plant-based food ranges from 3 to 10 μg/g fresh weight. [77] Copper: Essential micronutrient: Cu 2+ 0.01 [71] 1 [70] CuSO 4: Plant sensitivity to copper is highly variable. 0.1 ppm can be toxic to some plants [71] while a concentration up to 0.5 ppm for many plants is often considered ideal. [70 ...

  4. Lignin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin

    Lignin is present in all vascular plants, but not in bryophytes, supporting the idea that the original function of lignin was restricted to water transport. It is covalently linked to hemicellulose and therefore cross-links different plant polysaccharides, conferring mechanical strength to the cell wall and by extension the plant as a whole. [16]

  5. Aquatic plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_plant

    Many small animals use aquatic plants such as duckweeds and lily pads for spawning or as protective shelters against predators both from above and below the water surface. Aquatic plants are important primary producers and are the basis of food web for many aquatic fauna, especially wetland species. [38]

  6. Cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

    Cellulose is used to make water-soluble adhesives and binders such as methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose which are used in wallpaper paste. Cellulose is further used to make hydrophilic and highly absorbent sponges. Cellulose is the raw material in the manufacture of nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) which is used in smokeless gunpowder.

  7. Phospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid

    The hydrophilic end usually contains a negatively charged phosphate group, and the hydrophobic end usually consists of two "tails" that are long fatty acid residues. [ 4 ] In aqueous solutions, phospholipids are driven by hydrophobic interactions , which result in the fatty acid tails aggregating to minimize interactions with the water molecules.

  8. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

    The interactions between food and pan are very dependent on the material that the pan is made of. Whether or not the pan is hydrophilic or hydrophobic, the heat conductivity and capacity, surface roughness, and more all determine how the food is cooked.

  9. Ethylene (plant hormone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_(plant_hormone)

    The plant hormone ethylene is a combatant for salinity in most plants. Ethylene is known for regulating plant growth and development and adapted to stress conditions through a complex signal transduction pathway. Central membrane proteins in plants, such as ETO2, ERS1 and EIN2, are used for ethylene signaling in many plant growth processes.
