Introduction:
Introduction:
[Marchantia polymorpha] is one of the largest thallose liverworts, with
dichotomously branching, prostate or ascending flat thalli up to 2 cm
broad, often growing in dense mats. Our specimen was gathered
within the campus, and was analyzed phytochemically. Phytochemical
analysis involves the identification of bioactive chemical components
of the plant. These components are directly responsible for some of the
characteristics of the plant. The significance of performing this assay is
that it identifies components which then can be further analyzed for
other uses (e.g. antimicrobial properties, medicinal purposes). The
objective of this experiment is to identify the bioactive chemical
compounds of the thalloid liverwort.

positive result will showcase a pink or violet color at the base of the
aqueous solution.
Marchantiapolymorphamontivagans projected a negative result
therefore determining the absence of glycosides.
Benedicts test detects presence of reducing sugar.
Marchantiapolymorphamontivagans extract/ solution showed a
negative result which might have occurred due to transformation of the
reducing sugars to their nonreducing form since sugars in plants are
translocated in their nonreducing form.
