Example: Find the GCF of 18 and 27 The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18. The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, 27. The common factors of 18 and 27 are 1, 3 and 9. The greatest common factor of 18 and 27 is 9. Example: Find the GCF of 20, 50 and 120 The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20. The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50. The factors of 120 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120 The common factors of 20, 50 and 120 are 1, 2, 5 and 10.
All plants, algae, and cyanobacteria which photosynthesize contain chlorophyll a. A second kind of chlorophyll is chlorophyll b, which occurs only in green algae and in the plants.A third form of chlorophyll which is common is (not surprisingly) called chlorophyll c, and is found only in the photosynthetic members of the Chromista as well as the dinoflagellates.ore important than their reflection of light is the ability of pigments to absorb certain wavelengths. Because they interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs --organisms which make their own food using photosynthesis.
Plants include familiar types such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. The scientific study of plants, known as botany, has identified about 350,000 extant (living) species of plants. Fungi and non-green algae are not classed as plants. green substance in plants called chlorophyll traps the energy from the Sun needed to make food. Chlorophyll is mostly found in leaves, inside plastids, which are inside the leaf cells. The leaf can be thought of as a food factory.
