Rapid plant movement

My art I created for the Venus flytrap was created on Photoshop in order to properly illustrate the various characteristics of the carnivorous plant. Originally, I was going to paint the piece for this project, but over the course of the semester, I have been extensively learning the ins and outs of Photoshop in my Digital 1 class, and I decided to switch my project over to digital media. When I first sketched out my idea for this project, I created a very simplistic view of the flytrap catching a bug, but this sketch failed to display multiple attributes of the flytrap that is required for this project, so I moved on to my next idea. In the next sketch, I created the flytrap to look very monstrous and in a very cartoonish style. My goal in…

The Venus flytrap is a plant native to wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. The scientific name for the Venus Fly Trap is Dionaea Muscipula. It’s one of the most fascinating plants to have ever existed due to its omnivorous nature. Darwin noted, “‘I care more for Drosera than the origin of species ... it is a wonderful plant, or rather a most sagacious animal. I will stick up for Drosera to the day of my death.” The Venus flytrap reproduces by…

the two parts of the Venus flytrap’s trapping mechanism for ten days, after which the Venus flytrap awaits its next meal. The Venus flytrap must feed on its prey, due to the fact that it requires additional nutrients so it may construct cellular components to survive. The harsh soil in which the organism prefers to live in lacks these nutrients, and therefore must achieve them through its prey. Other than it being an interesting plant to see in action, it is also interesting to watch and…

awakenings, and even the nightmares? A dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep (Dream). Dreams are a great wonder to the world that scientists still do not have a firm grasp on. The purpose of this paper is to inform the reader of what dreams are and what they mean. A person’s mind creates images and stories while we sleep and that is what a dream is. Dreams can seem very real and can make a person feel scared, happy, or sad. Dreams can…

(name, date). One of the most common elements on earth, carbon is the basis for all living things and the environment; carbon takes many forms and is distributed through the carbon cycle (name, date). Carbon exists in three main forms these include solid (coal / diamonds) liquid (crude oil) and as gas (carbon dioxide) making it widely distributed (name, date). The carbon cycle is separated into two main cycles, this includes the long term carbon cycle (also known as the geological cycle), which…

For years, scientists and researchers have studied ways to understand and describe dreams. They have tested many theories and hypotheses to answer the many questions that surround dreams. Strauch and Meier describe dreams as “…a world of experiences, where, seemingly separated from our waking lives, we lead a second existence” (1). That being said, how is the brain able to remember these other lives lived in a dream-like state? The brain is a complex set of nerves, so many factors play a part in…

normal tasks nearly as well. After 5 nights without sleep, the person will start hallucinating. Then soon, it becomes impossible for the brain to give its directions to the rest of the body because its tired and have damaged cells and that person will start to feel ill. What happens when we sleep? It may not seem like it, but we are very active while sleeping and we involve in small Physical and non-Physical activities like kicking, movement, talking and dreaming. Out brain is always active…

recorded, studied, and interpreted by several ancient civilizations spanning all the way from the Babylonians to contemporary society today (King, 2015, p. 132). Lucid dreaming puts new meaning for the conscious and the unconscious side of the human brain/mind opening an abundance of studies and perspectives on it. First off, when do we dream, and how does it occur? To simply put, the human brain goes through a series of sleep stages where we encounter different states of consciousness to which…

Have you ever wondered why we dream? In the medical world, dreams cause great controversy between medical professionals. Those who study dreams study them to determine if there are medical reasons for them, or if they are just meaningless parts of the brain’s functions. There are differing opinions on what our dreams mean. Dreams could have to do with how we feel that day, or they could be just random videos that have no connection to our lives. (“Facts About Dreaming”) Our brains are very…
