Botanical Terms – Achariaceae
Achariaceae (Malpighiales order) a family of dioecious shrubs and trees having simple, alternating leaves with whole, serrate, or dentate edges, as well as fascicles, racemes, or panicles as inflorescences. Fruits consist of one or more seeds and are baccate or capsules. The tropics are home to 145 species spread across 30 genera

Botanical Terms -Achatocarpaceae
Achatocarpaceae (Caryophyllales, order *) a family of simple, alternating, whole leaves without stipules, an axillary, racemose inflorescence, and a single-seeded berry characterize this *monoecious, *deciduous* shrub family, which also includes some *trees and a few climbers. Two genera with ten or eleven species each are found in the tropical regions of the New World.

Botanical Terms - (Order Mycoplasmatales) Acholeplasmataceae
A family of *chemo-organotrophic, Gram-negative bacteria that may thrive without the presence of steroids (see STEROID). Cells might be filamentous, spherical, or *pleomorphic. Numerous birds and mammals host them as *parasites. The genus is Acheleplasma.

Botanical Terms – Acid
A material that releases protons or hydrogen ions in solution is said to be subject to the Brønsted–Lowry theory. It is a material that functions as an acceptor of electron pairs, according to the Lewis hypothesis. An acid with a *pH of less than 7 neutralizes, or combines with a base to form a salt and water.
acid-fast bacteria Some *bacteria belonging to the Actinomycetales order, such as *Mycobacterium species, do not get decolorized when treated with mineral acid again after being treated with specific dyes.

Botanical Terms - acidic grassland
An acid-soil grassland ecosystem that is typically formed from old woodlands via centuries of grazing and, to a lesser degree, fire. Agrostis (bent) and Festuca (fescue) species are the predominant grasses in Britain and a large portion of northwest Europe.Although the related plant species are typically different, and the term "grass heath" is seen to be more fitting, this type of vegetation is most prevalent in highland locations. The grasses that are typical of the acidic areas of the prairie in North America are supina bluegrass (Poa supina), Elliott's broomsedge (A. elliotti), and Canada bluegrass (P. compressa)
