Sundew plant Sundew are a kind of carnivorous plant. The leaves of sundews are covered with "tentacles". sundew is found throughout all parts of the world. Its greatest concentrations are in Australia and South Africa‚ making them the largest group of carnivorous plants. They have a long-ish head that’s parallel to the ground with small sticky red balls. The insect sticks to the balls and the head curls up to eat it. Besides those there are also some ones in which the heads are the shape of

What Happens Behind Closed Doors: Interest Groups and Their Agendas Government and political entities are believed to be heroes of the people. They only do good‚ and have no vendetta for themselves. However‚ this utopian way of thinking is unrealistic‚ and not representative of the convoluted process of policy-making and forward motion. Interest groups are a key component of change‚ and using direct lobbying‚ they attempt to create reform every day. Tom Woods in his “Our Wise Overlords Are Just Here

reproduction. Cuttings are taken from a mother plant in vegatative growth‚ and rooted in hydroponic medium to be grown as a separate plant. The offspring will be plants that are identical to the parent plant. Cloning preserves the character of your favorite plant. Cloning can make an ocean of green out of a single plant‚ so it is a powerful tool for growing large crops‚ and will fill a closet quickly with your favorite genetics. When you find the plant you want to be your "buddy" for the rest of your

Period G Interspecific and Intraspecific Plant Competition Abstract A study was conducted to address the problem of interspecific and intraspecific competition among wheat and mustard plants. It was hypothesized that increasing the plant density‚ and therefore increasing intraspecific competition‚ would negatively impact the plant biomass. It was also hypothesized that interspecific competition would have a stronger negative effect on the plant biomasses. This was tested by planting varying

2011 Plants and Nitrogen Lab Report Introduction: Plants need ammonia‚ a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen‚ or nitrate‚ a form of inorganic nitrogen to grow. Most nitrogen is found in the atmosphere. However‚ plants and animals cannot directly absorb the nitrogen found in the atmosphere. Instead nitrogen gas is captured from the air by species of bacteria that lie in the water‚ soil‚ or grow on the roots of some plants. These bacteria convert the nitrogen into a form usable by plants. The

Fertilizers are essential in plant growth due to the lack of some nutrients in the soil. They contain three distinct categories which are the primary nutrients‚ secondary nutrients and metals. (hazri). In order for a plant to develop growth‚ the basic needs of carbon (C)‚ hydrogen (H)‚ and oxygen (O) are required which are available in the air and water. Also‚ a boost of macronutrients are also essential for plant growth which are obtainable from chemical fertilizers mainly nitrogen (N)‚ phosphate

The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity‚ from the earliest algal mats‚ through bryophytes‚ lycopods‚ ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive‚ especially in the environments in which they evolved‚ each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. Probably an algal scum formed on land 1‚200 million years ago. In the Ordovician period

Plants have two different ways to reproduce. The first one is vegetative reproduction. With this type all the plants that have the same parent have the same genetic make-up. This also lets plants pass adaptations on that they have abtained over the years. Plants with good genetic make-up usually spread quickly and take over an area. An example of this would be the dandelion. These plants can sprout from any part of the plant. An example of this is the potato‚ farmers will pick the potatoes and cut
