But by far‚ the greatest source of dyes has been the plant kingdom‚ notably from their roots‚ bark‚ leaves‚ wood and their berries. Malabar night shade ( basella rubra linn)‚ commonly known as alugbati‚ is a fast-growing‚ soft-stemmed‚ branched‚ twining herbaceous vine with either purplish or green stem

the DSV and garlic mustard are a danger to the native grasses and plants. DSV disrupts the food webs and breeding patterns of the monarch butterfly and put the species at risk (Mattila and Otis 2003). Other invasive species can introduce disease and parasites which can kill the native plants and fauna‚ and thereby decreasing the biodiversity of the region (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources 2011). The Rouge River Park has “762 plant species of which six are nationally rare and 92 species which are

our earth that shares the same species‚ climate‚ animals‚ and plants. There are actually about 150 different classified biomes today. The main biomes are Marine‚ Tundra‚ Desert‚ Savannah‚ Grassland‚ Tropical Rain Forest‚ Deciduous Forest‚ and Coniferous Forest. 4. What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem includes all the abiotic factors in addition to the community of species that exists in a certain area. Human populations depend on plants and animals for much of their food‚ medicines‚ clothing‚ and shelter

There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photaosynthesis. Oxygenic photosynthesis is commonly occur in plants‚ algae and cyanobacteria (Vidyasagar 2015). For example‚ the plant used in this experiment‚ Elodea‚ is an oxygenating plant that used in freshwater aquarium carry out oxygenic photosynthesis (Candace Berkeley Development Coordinator 2016). During oxygenic photosynthesis‚ water is oxidized and CO2 is reduced

This video “Xapiri” by Bruce Albert observes the xamãs Yamomami or the shamans of the Yamomami tribe in their spiritual ritual involving the use of a plant produced from the resin of the Virola tree. “At the beginning of time‚ Father Sun practiced incest with his daughter‚ who acquired Viho by scratching her father’s penis.”1 This is considered as a “sacred snuff from the sun’s semen‚ and since it is still hallowed‚ it is kept in containers called muhipu-nuri‚ or ‘penis of the sun.’”1 It is a hallucinogen

that consume primary producers. Such species are often termed herbivores. Herbivores may be very small organisms such as zooplankton that graze on microscopic plants such as phytoplankton; however‚ herbivores also include many enormous mammals such as rhinoceri and elephants. If significant numbers of the herbivore trophic level are removed‚ plant growth may exceed the balance found in the previous natural environment. For example the removal of herbaceous fishes by overfishing and the loss of the herbaceus

humans did not exist‚ extinction occurred due to natural causes. On this present time however‚ extinction of species are threatened by humans’ existence. Humans are the only moral agent; in which‚ it has the intellectual capacity that animals and plants do not have. Thus‚ humans are powerful and dominate over any species. Many practices that humans do such as: tree logging‚ environment pollution‚ exploitation of animals and others has led to many species being endangered to extinction. Thus‚ humans
