Some of the most bizarre and fascinating plants in the natural world are undoubtedly carnivorous plants. Carnivory‚ defined as the consumption of animal tissue‚ is often only associated with the animal kingdom. However the existence of carnivory is widespread and diverse in the plant and fungi kingdoms as well. Specifically carnivorous plants‚ which originally descended from exclusively photosynthetic plants‚ have evolved elaborate‚ efficient‚ and diverse methods to capture‚ digest‚ and metabolize

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Tomato is a very significant ingredient to Filipino cuisines thus it is produced widely in the Philippines. Tomatoes rank second to aubergine in the aspect of food production. Dejectedly‚ the production of fruits in the Philippines is below average level due to the damages caused by various insects and viruses. The infections of these pests cause a yield reduction of 50% to 100% which threatens the livelihood of the small scale farmers of tomatoes. Aside from pests‚ the

convergent evolution.[2] Some pitcher plant families (such as Nepenthaceae) are placed within clades consisting mostly of flypaper traps‚ indicating that some pitchers may have evolved from the common ancestors of today’s flypaper traps by loss of mucilage[citation needed]. Foraging‚ flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted to the cavity formed by the cupped leaf‚ often by visual lures such as anthocyanin pigments‚ and nectar bribes. The rim of the pitcher (peristome) is slippery‚

Launched on 28 February 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show‚ five months after its initial unveiling in Sant’Agata Bolognese‚ the vehicle‚ internally codenamed LB834‚ was designed to replace the tenyear-old Mucilage as the new flagship model. Soon after the Aventador unveiling‚ Lamborghini announced that it had already sold over 12 of the production vehicles‚ with deliveries starting in the second half of 2011.

This coloration is probably what draws in most insects(Souza 4). However‚ the trap also secretes mucilage‚ a type of protein. So once the insect has landed on the leaf‚ it

Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids - Investigatory Project Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids that are between the solid and conventional liquid phases. Liquid crystals are in widespread use‚ especially in optical technologies. They are synthesized by combining fatty acids with cholesterol. This study aims to utilize coconut oil as an alternative source of fatty acids for synthesizing liquid crystals since coconut is cheap and abundant

two regions: a flat‚ heart-shaped photosynthesis-capable petiole‚ and a pair of terminal lobes hinged at the midrib‚ forming the trap which is the true leaf. The upper surface of these lobes contains red anthocyanin pigments and its edges secrete mucilage. The lobes exhibit rapid plant movements‚ snapping shut when stimulated by prey. The trapping mechanism is tripped when prey contacts one of the three hair-like trichomes that are found on the upper surface of each of the lobes. The trapping mechanism
