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

between plants and people is made possible by the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis. While cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms‚ photosynthesis relies on chlorophyll and is unique to plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria. Respiration and photosynthesis are essentially the same process in reverse. During photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are converted to glucose and oxygen‚ while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen which are converted to CO2 and H20. Plants utilize

Genlisea Violacea is a carnivorous plant that is restricted to the areas of South America and Trinidad. (1). This species can grow when it I half or fully submerged in water. (2) They flourish best in wet habitats‚ such as marshes and swamps. (2) The top part of the trap consists of a descending stolon. (2)About midway down the stolon there is a swollen digestion chamber—the utricle--which makes the descending part of the stolon look somewhat like the neck of an ostrich that has

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

CHAPTER 36 PLANT CELLS The first barrier to form between daughter cells is the middle lamella. Daughter cells expand to their final size and make polysaccharides for a primary wall. After expansion stops waterproofing materials are added for a secondary wall. Water and dissolved materials move from cell to cell by way of pit pairs. A pit is a thin spot in the primary wall where the secondary wall is absent or separated from the primary wall by a space. Strands of cytoplasm called
