The film, What Plants Talk About, starts out with a researcher from the University of Alberta, Dr. James Cahill. He is an Experimental Plant Ecologist trying to find the answer to the question: Do plants behave like animals? Throughout the film, Dr. Cahill observes the research of other scientists who are experimenting with their questions as well. Cahill compares plant behavior to animal behavior. All plants, as well as animals, are complex and have complex feeding behaviors. Every plant on…

can become intoxicated enough to not realize what is happening or where they are going. Finally, it seemed unrealistic for how long the antagonist survived for. In the articles it showed that there is a possibility that there was a vast amount of fungi that could have killed the antagonist. Also, the amount of alcohol that the antagonist was consuming should have killed him. Even though some of the factors of the story seem unrealistic they turned out to be factual. This is how the…

2.1. Biocellulose definition Cellulose is the main component of plant cell wall. Some bacteria produce cellulose (called biocellulose or bacterial cellulose). Plant cellulose and bacterial cellulose have the same chemical structure (Fig.2.1), but different chemical and physical properties (Lin et al., 2016). The molecular formula of bacterial cellulose (C6H10O5)n is the same as that of plant cellulose, but their chemical and physical features are different. Biocellulose is preferred over the…

Butte. Not long ago, her team of scientists uncovered dissolved metal compounds like iron pyrites. They also discovered novel forms of bacteria and fungi; specifically, pithomyces fungi which produces a compound that “binds to a receptor that causes migraines and could block headaches”. Another type of fungi that she found a strain of penicillium fungi which inhibits the growth of lung cancer cells. (“Dirty old mine has rich seam of drugs”, 2006). The discovery of possible pharmaceuticals to…

The peanut plant produces yellow, orange, cream or white flowers which produce 'pegs', characteristic floral structures which sink into the ground to grow the pod. The pods could be reaching up to 10 cm (4 in) in…

1. Introduction and Literature Review 1.1 Introduction: More than 200 different species of bacteria normally live on the skin (Benbow, 2010) and an open wound provides a moist, warm and nutritious environment perfect for microbial colonisation and proliferation (Young, 2012). When one or more microorganisms multiply in the wound, local and systemic responses occur in the host, which can lead to infection and a subsequent delay in healing (Angel et al., 2011). Cutting (2010) mentioned that…

The way that copper sulfate kills fungi and algae is it binds to the proteins, this damages the cells making them leak and die. The way copper sulfate kills snails is it harms the normal function of the skin cells and enzymes. Copper sulfate can be a liquid, crystal, or dust. If copper sulfate…
