Learning about Animal and People Minds Ever since I can remember I have been interested in and fascinated by animals. It is possible that my love for animals came from watching Disney movies such as The Lion King and One Hundred and One Dalmatians. My curiosity increased when I read Temple Grandin’s book Animals in Translation. Grandin discusses how animals think and communicate by using examples such as what melanin does in the brain (78). I have also grown up with animals throughout my life…

Background information Plants need nutrients to survive. These nutrients can include nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur and iron. The plant absorbs these nutrients through the roots from the soil. These thing aren’t the only things plants need to survive though, they need things like water, sugar, and salt. The roots can allow many different things to pass into the plant. It selects many things such as nitrogen, water, and calcium. There are many ways that the plant can get its…

The Sprouting Seed “What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” (Golding 91). This quote is used in Lord of the Flies, at a meeting about the beast. The quote brings to light the real intention of the book, which is showing how easy it is under pressure to fall into savage like behavior. Golding shows this very well in the Lord of the Flies. Fear converts the boys into cold-hearted savages. In the middle of a war, a plane full of young boys crashes on an unknown island leaving them alone with…

and bring joy to those in it. Some people become inspired by flowers and write, sing, and talk about them. All of the literature that comes from flowers evokes many different emotions and touches on many different topics. Sometimes the writings can stem from sadness, enjoyment, forgiveness, or jealousy. Many of the greats of literature have written about flowers and used them to explore topics and themes that others may not touch upon. The poems “Asphodel, That Greeny Flower” by William Carlos…

After reading this essay, you will have little to no trouble servicing the yard.…

Pollinators, flowers, and their relationship play an essential role in ecosystems. Pollinators are responsible for facilitating fertilization in flowering plants, which provides seed production in fruits and vegetables. Pollination is important in agricultural communities with the fertilization of crops. It is estimated that pollinators contribute to the global economy by adding 217 billion dollars from pollinating a vast array of crops (Gallai et al., 2009). The pollinator-flower relationship…

carnivorous plants who use their specialized pitcher-shaped leaves to capture their prey through passive pitfall traps (Bauer, Di Giusto, Skepper, Grafe, Federle, 2012). The adaptation of carnivory in plants is as a result of nutrient-poor habitats in which the fitness of the plants depends on the availability of animal prey in that habitat. Animal prey increases seed production, flower production, and biomass, which are all essential for plant fitness. As a result, carnivorous plants use many…

is a free- floating aquatic plant from the duckweed family, that consists of small, individual thalli (Tkalec et.al, 2001). Lemna are small, fast growing plants and they develop dense mats on ponds, especially when enough light and nutrients are available (Gérard et.al, 2014). Salt is the most toxic substance, as it causes an inhibition of plant growth and a decrease in nutrient uptake (Chang et.al, 2012). Salt stress induces the production of abscisic acid (ABA), a plant stress hormone, which…

SUMMARY The efficacy of abamectin , malathion and three plant oils(olive oil, peanut oil and linseed oil) singly and in three mixture ratios (5:95, 10:90 and 15:85) of the oils and pesticides , were biologically evaluated on cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus ( Fabricius , 1775) infested cowpea seeds. The activity of abamectin and malathion singly or in mixtures with the three oils were significantly increased, particularly at the higher concentrations. abamectin combinations with olive…
