Research Paper On Venus Flytraps

Decent Essays
Imagine flies, bugs, and pests surround your house like swarms of bees surround a garden full of flowers. Imagine planting, caring, and/or petting a pet or plant that can make their own food, gather their own foods, and/or survive without rich soil, fertilizer, etc. It's a Venus Flytrap you seek.
First of all, Venus Flytrap don’t need fertile soil. Venus is a plant, but it is also a carnivore, too, because it consumes insects to survive. As Venus Flytraps consumes insects, they dissolves in the catcher leaves, leaving the corpse behind and absorbs the liquid. The liquid provides lots and lots nutrition for the plant to live, so poor soil is needed. Rich soil may be rare, but dry soil is common, though.
Secondly, the way Venus Flytrap captures insects is very interesting. Many people commonly think that a Venus Flytrap always close its mouth randomly or snaps when something either big or small touch it. The truth lies in the catcher leaves.

Self-pollination means that a flower’s own anther grain will transferred by a vector into its own stigma. Cross-pollination means that a flower’s anther pollen will transferred by a vector into another stigma. Another way for it to reproduce is through rhizomes which are leaves formed underground that reproduced into Venus Flytraps. If you want to plant another one, don’t buy another seed; they’ll reproduced through the

    She tested if the survivorship of T.cassandra is controlled by the extrinsic factors dehydration and predation. She did this in a few stages, first testing larval survivorship by comparing the number of scars present, indicating eggs under the surface of the flower, to the number of mature larvae. She then conducted a flower microclimate experiment in which mesh bags were placed over individual plants to determine if abiotic (non-living) factors were important in relation to the survival of genomes. Measurements were taken on the changes in microclimate, in relation to temperature and relative humidity. The impact of larval feeding was recorded; measured by number of larvae per fruit and the number of seeds consumed by each larva.…

    In reading Ovid’s Metamorphoses, I noticed a distinct pattern of consequences directly related to the failure of heeding warnings. In the myth of Phaethon and his father, My Etiological understanding of the events begin with Phaethon asking for an unreasonable request from his father, Phoebus, in wanting to drive the sun chariot. The Sun warns, “you ask too great a favor, and one that is unfitting for your strength and boyish years.” … In this warning, I see a timeless warning that may have applied to Athenian culture; not to be overambition or try to fit into shoes too big for one’s feet.…
