Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms of starch in edible plants. This research involved several edible plants such as sago, yam and taro. This type of research uses descriptive quantitative methods by conducting experiments on each sample used. The data collection technique was carried out by describing the results of the starch form from each sample that had been obtained. The results obtained from this study showed that the Sago preparations viewed under a microscope had an oval starch shape and spread throughout the preparation so that it was classified as an eccentric starch type that could be seen at 10X magnification, while Jicama starch preparations had a round starch shape and chains in some parts. The plane of the preparation and entered in the concentric type, but the shape of starch in Jicama can be seen under a microscope at 100X magnification, the Taro preparation has a round and lumpy shape but the starch accumulates in several areas of the preparation and enters the concentric type seen at 40X magnification. So it can be concluded that the forms of starch in edible plants are very diverse, both in round to oval shapes, with smooth and rough starch structures, namely in the form of lumps.Keywords: Edible Plants, Starch Form

Abstract

Seruway is one of the sub-districts in Aceh Tamiang, which is located in the coastal area. This coastal area is dominated by mangrove species, where the mangrove area is used as a habitat for aquatic biota animals, one of which is gastropods. Gastropods are soft-bodied animals that have threaded shells. This research aims to determine the value of the species diversity index and distribution patterns of gastropods in Kupang Beach, Seruway District. This research is a type of quantitative descriptive research with sampling using a survey method. Sampling was taken using transects. Sampling was divided into 3 stations, namely the first station in the mangrove area, the second station in the beach area and the third station in the pond area. Each station consists of 4 transects measuring 50 meters, each transect has 4 plots measuring 10x10m. Samples that are obtained will be identified using an identification book. The research results showed that the number of gastropod species found was 17 species from 9 families with a total diversity index value at the research location, namely H'= 2.405, which is classified as medium. The distribution pattern of gastropods on Kupang Beach falls into two categories, namely the uniform category 59% and the undefined category 41%.
