Carnivorous Plants In a world where plants are at the bottom of the food-chain‚ some individual plant species have evolved ways to reverse the order we expect to find in nature. These insectivorous plants‚ as they are sometimes called‚ are the predators ‚ rather than the passive prey. Adaptations such as odiferous lures and trapping mechanisms have made it possible for these photosynthesizers to capture‚ chemically break-down and digest insect prey (and in some cases even small animals.) There

Plants and humans are perhaps the most important organisms‚ however‚ us humans‚ have caused the death of thousands of plants by starting fires and by cutting down trees for things such as paper and furniture. Plants make oxygen which is very important for our survival; we can’t live without it. In the year 2003 alone‚ 774500 acres of land‚ that contained not only threes but animals too‚ were burned in California (Jane Strong‚ 2003). Some of this land was burned due to natural fires but some of it

In 1976‚ the Rizal Cement company‚ owned by the Madrigal family‚ came under the management of PHINMA under a management contract with the owners. In 1978‚ General Luzon Cement (now Central Cement)‚ a company foreclosed by PCI Bank‚ was purchased by PHINMA. In 1983‚ an expansion plant for the Davao Union Cement was constructed. In 1983‚ PHINMA also

For this project I will be planting a Palo Verde tree in the front yard of my house on September 12. I will need to find a nice spot to plant the tree to make sure it won’t die. I’m choosing to plant a tree because I’ve always wanted to do it. I’m going to plant the tree with soil to give it the nutrients it needs. Also I am going to put wood chip mulch all around it to keep it from drying out from all the heat. I will water the tree every day‚ and check for growth every other week. Planting

A less rigid structure: water pressure supports them. 5. Flat leaves on surface plants for flotation. 6. Air sacs for flotation. 7. Smaller roots: water can diffuse directly into leaves. 8. Feathery roots: no need to support the plant. 9. Specialized roots able to take in oxygen. Floating All floating plants

Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

hat are Plants and How did they Evolve: Plants are multicellular‚ photosynthetic organisms‚ adapted primarily for life on land. With a combination of both‚ underground and aboveground structures‚ plants have the ability to absorb water and mineral nutrients from soil while food production is also occurring through the process of photosynthesis. Scientists assume that plants where the cause of evolution‚ adapting from aquatic green algae 500 million years ago. Many essential adaptations would have
