The venus fly trap is a carnivorous plant. That means that it gets some of its nutrients from eating living things like insects and spiders. If you’ve never seen a venus flytrap before‚ they look like a flower with mouths at the ends of some of the leaves. The “mouths” look like they have teeth all the way around them and they are opened wide until they are ready to eat. The venus fly trap isn’t going to try to eat until its prey lands on it or moves across it two times. It waits because it doesn’t

hyrdrosere is a plant succession which occurs in a fresh water lake. In time an area of open fresh water will dry out forming woodland. During a hydrosere there are many abiotic factors that change‚ which causes different species to inhabit the lake depending on the conditions they need to thrive and live successfully. There are many different stages that occur during a hyrdrosere the first stage introduces a pioneer species. A pioneer species is usually a community of hearty plants with adaptations

spike. This permitted the seed to germinate properly without being disturbed by birds or any other animal that might eat the seeds. The control of planting seeds wit the seed drill was greatly improved that it saved seeds and allowed most of the plants to germinate at the same rate. This created increased crops and profits for the farmer. The results of the seed drill were greatly welcomed by most people. The growing population of the country sparked a new need for food and farmers. The trade

Light and nutrients. Light is the key abiotic factor which controls the growth of woodland. It controls the spacing of the trees‚ shape of the trees and the shape and structure of the shrub and ground layers. If a trees branch does not receive enough light it will die. Irelands native woodlands are deciduous so there is a dramatic variation of the amount of light which reaches the forest floor through the seasons. In spring when the leaves have yet to grow and the temperature has begun to rise the

Chapter 29 An Overview of Land Plant Evolution 1. Describe four shared derived homologies that link charophyceans and land plants. a. The complexes that produce cellulose are rose shaped in both charophyceans and land plants. Next both have peroxisome enzymes that help minimize the loss of organic products from photorespiration. The structure of their flagellated sperm is very similar. Finally‚ both form a phragmoplast during cell division. 2. Distinguish among the kingdoms Plantae‚ Streptophyta

purpose of this experiment was to examine how low and high densities of radish and wheat seeds affect the plants growth rate and competition. The competition occurs when resources are limited to the plants. The two types of competitions that occur are interspecific and intraspecific. Interspecific is a competition between two different species and intraspecific is a competition between the plants own species. This experiment was conducted by taking 6 pots containing soil and placing certain amount

found in plant cells. Chloroplasts contain small pigments called chlorophylls. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. All green plants you see are working to convert the energy of the sun into sugars. Plants are the basis of all life on Earth. They create sugars‚ and the oxygen that we breathe. This process is also known as chloroplast. The mitochondria work in the opposite direction and breaks down the sugars and nutrients that the cell receives. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy
