INSECTIVOROUS PLANTS An insectivorous plant‚ also called a carnivorous plant‚ captures prey items‚ such as insects‚ spiders‚ crustaceans‚ mites‚ and protozoans‚ as a nitrogen source. Many insectivorous species live in freshwater bogs‚ where nitrogen is not present in available form‚ because the pH of the water is extremely acid. The forms of entrapment by these types of plants are modified leaves. Five basic trapping mechanisms are found in carnivorous plants. 1. Pitfall traps (pitcher plants) trap prey

Mountains‚ is in cattle pastures.” We examined the land use capacity and made an evaluation the class of the soil. Honestly‚ this was a very interesting project for me because I had never done an experiment like such. Having carried out the measurement of the site parameters in the field I feel that it can be done by ordinary farmers. The farmers have much more knowledge about how their farms and soil work. I had no special training nevertheless knowledge of how farms developed good crops; if I can do

Ebola has only in fairly recent times emerged from its hiding place in the depths of the tropical rainforests of Africa and is now seen as one of the most lethal and efficient viral killers on the planet‚ certainly a potential bio-weapon threat that could prove extremely devastating. Although Ebola is thought of as a very ancient virus‚ humans have only recently felt its presence on the Earth‚ and so its know history is brief

is a tool used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting. It has been a basic instrument for most of recorded history‚ and represents one of the major advances in agriculture. The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil‚ bringing fresh nutrients to the surface‚ while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops‚ allowing them to break down. It also aerates the soil‚ and allows it to hold moisture better. In modern use

can reach a new pH level by interacting with soil. If water has a pH that is too high or too low‚ it can be life threatening to aquatic species and can corrode metal structures. After finding this out‚ I decided to test if water could reach an extreme pH just by interacting with soil around it. The question for this experiment therefore became the following. Will interaction with soil change the pH of water? I hypothesized that if water interacts with soil for three days‚ then the pH of the water will
