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

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

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

Chun Wai Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for plants of living in an aqueous environment compared to a terrestrial one? Introduction: Plants are commonly classified to two main types: aquatic plant and land plant. They have different features to adapt the living environment. What by meant is that they require different adaptions to stay alive in their respective environment such as humidity and structure of leaves. Aquatic plants referred to as hydrophytes or macrophytes. They need a special
