Alkaloids typically have a bitter taste.
Yes, they are Alkaloids, isolated from plant 'Cadaba farinosa'.
Plant alkaloids prevent cells from dividing normally. Vinblastine and vincristine are plant alkaloids obtained from the periwinkle plant.
No. Ammonia is a very simple compound. Alkaloids are more complex.
True alkaloids are naturally occurring compounds containing nitrogen and have at least one nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring. They often have pharmacological effects on the body, such as analgesic or stimulant properties. True alkaloids are commonly found in plants and fungi and possess alkaline properties.

Yes. Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing organic compounds produced by many kinds of plants.
There are many species which sequester alkaloids from plants, usually as a self-defence mechanism. Absorption of alkaloids by such species will usually render the organisms unpalatable largely because of the bitter taste that results. Certain ant, caterpillar, mite, frog, etc. species extract - and possibly metabolise - plant alkaloids to synthesise new ones or may simply secrete those absorbed during feeding on plants containing them.

There are Ephedra in around 40 plants from around the world. But not all of them contains Ephedrine Alkaloids which is known for promoting an effective weight loss. Sida Cordifolia does contain Ephedrine Alkaloids, around 2.2% which is a little less than the "King" of Ephedra Sinica that contains 3.3 Alkaloids. In the Alkaloids between 40 and 90% is Ephedrine.
