Essay On Venus Flytrap

On July 20, 1969, the first astronauts set foot on the surface of the moon. In the short period of time they spent exploring the surface of the moon they conducted many experiments on the texture, the atmosphere, and even if there was any sign of life. They recorded their observations and when they landed back on Earth, NASA took over and examined the samples even further. But even till this day 46 years later, scientists around the world are trying to piece together the clues to help them prove if there is indeed sustainable life on the surface of the moon. When the moon’s surface samples were brought back to the NASA laboratories for examination, I believe that the scientists there first examined if the samples had changed at all based on
Over the vast amount of time since the first discovery of the Venus flytrap back in 1763, there have been many discussions over if this plant is truly a living biotic creature. Some ways that I believe that it fits the characteristics to be considered living are, that it grows just like all other plants, it has adapted to its environment in order to survive, and it gets it nutrients from the insects and other small animals that it digests. Just like any other plant that you might see, the Venus flytrap does in fact grow from photosynthesis and gets its energy to do this from the insects that it digests. They also respond to their habitat and the environment around them, by using their tiny hairs on the opening of the plant to sense movement of animals and immediately close in order to digest the insect for the energy it provides. They also follow another characteristic of life which is evolution/adaptation, the Venus flytrap fits this requirement because over time based on the places that it grew, it evolved to be carnivorous. The habitat that it might have grown in earlier might not have had the best soil for it to grow, so it evolved in order to survive by changing into carnivorous plant, and surviving by gathering nutrients from the insects that it
