ominous-looking, the plants are commonly sold as novelties, and many a curious child (or adult) has triggered its ..……. (baneful, sinister, doomful, malevolent) traps with a pencil to see its amazingly rapid response. However, carnivory in plants is not limited to the famous Venus flytrap. In fact, there are more than 600 carnivorous plant species, and the ability to catch and digest ………(dupe, prey, victim, quest) has evolved independently at least six times among flowering plants. Carnivory in…

The tundra is defined as a large, treeless, and almost flat open space. They are located in the uppermost regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. In the tundra, most of the months’ average temperature is under the freezing point. The winters are long and harsh; in contrast, the summers are short and somewhat warm; however, the average monthly temperature is never above 10°C. Evaporation is poor, so there is very little precipitation and when there is, it’s dispersed evenly throughout the…

Marginal plants, can be decorative as they can help blend the edges of the pond into the surrounding ground, but also provide shelter from the wind and the rain. Because they grow on the edges of the pond, they also serve as a barrier for fish and other aquatic animals from possible predators. Some examples of edible marginal plants are, Vietnamese Mint, stonecress, and rainbow parsley. Oxygenating plants, have roots submerged in the soil, but their leaves unlike with the floating plants are…

carbon dioxide.(Plant and Light) However, this lab is focused on how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis in order to see how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis, specifically Elodea plants. Photosynthesis is a process which happens in all plants and organisms where they absorb light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy which is later used to fuel organisms’ livings and activities.(Rate of Photosynthesis) Additionally, Edola plants,…

species richness. Just recently we learned about the transfer of energy in food webs, while also learning more about trophic levels. Looking at how much energy you gain and how much an organism needs, I learned that eating straight off a source of plants would help organisms grow and prosper. For our group we examined the producers of the ecosystem who are at the bottom and are eaten the most. We also know which consumer would need the most energy, which would be the Tertiary consumer. We also…

Plant predators, the vicious herbivores of planet Earth have many different adaptations that help ensure their survival in the wild. There are many different types of plant predators who have adapted to survive and live by solely eating plant material. One in such being that of the Tapir. The Tapir is said to be the largest mammal residing in the American rainforests. They feed on a variety of plants and plant material to guarantee that they do not become poisoned by eating too much of a certain…

In Aristotle’s view, everything in this world can be categorized. Living beings include plants and animal. The plant has nutritive soul and the animal process both nutritive soul and perceptive soul.

From the Aristotle Introductory Reading: “413b2: What makes something an animal is primarily perception.” Perception is…

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…
