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

Role of mycorrhizas in the mineral nutrition of host plants Mycorrhizas are very important in the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able

Plant Hemoglobin Hemoglobin is a protein-iron compound found within the red blood cells of most vertebrates and is responsible for the cell’s red pigment. These red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the tissue cells throughout the rest of the body. Just as hemoglobin transports oxygen in humans‚ they have also been found transporting oxygen within plants. In plants‚ there are two types of hemoglobin that can be found; symbiotic and non symbiotic. Oxygen is used

from the aerial parts of plants‚ especially leaves but also stems‚ flowers and roots. Leaf surfaces are dotted with openings called stomates that are bordered by guard cells. Collectively‚ the structures are called stomata.[1] Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata‚ and can be as a necessary "cost" associated with many processes such as the opening of the pistil and allowing the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants and enables mass flow

non-native plant in Southern California I research some information of Iris Pseudacorus which is commonly known as Yellowflag Iris. It is native to Europe‚ Western Asia‚ and northwest Africa. Especially‚ Pseudacours is one of two iris species native to British Island. It was brought to Canada and the U.S in the early 1900s in order to use as an erosion control plant such as used in sewage treatment cells. In recent decade‚ the plant is used in landscaping and sold through garden and plant dealers

Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Plants also need mineral ions‚ including nitrate and magnesium‚ for healthy growth. They
