Thermodynamics influence on behavioural pattern of selected medicinal leaves

Abstract

Selected tropical plants leaves such as Colocasia Esculenta, Carica Papaya, Tridax, Bambusa, etc. were experimentally investigated. The plants leaves were subjected to different degrees of temperatures. We observed that some of the plants can survive in an environment with rising temperature while some cannot survive when the temperature is fast increasing. We found that Colocasia Esculenta has the highest resistance mean compared to the other tropical leaves. This is followed by Carica papaya, while Tridax Procumbens and Bambusa Vulgaris are the least in mean with 0.231 and 0.241 respectively; they show lack of moisture and lack of adequate H₂O. It was concluded that the effect of thermodynamics is severe in some plants like Tridax Pprocumbens. The 25% percentile change in masses shows that at the same  temperature, Manihot Esculenta and Tridax Procumbens were affected negatively.
