How some plants live off other plants?
Angiosperms are seed plants that produce flowers enclosed within a carpel. Angiosperms that live off other plants are called parasitic angiosperms.
Why do fungi not belong to plants?
They are not producers and lack chlorophyll. They can not make their own food, though nether can some parasitic plants. Fungi have different cell walls than plants. Plants use cellulose to construct cells walls while fungi use chitin.
What is some information about insectivorous plants and parasitic plants?
These are also known as Carnivorous (Meat-eating) plants. Several types are native to the U.S. Includilng the famous Venus Flytrap. They indeed eat insects and possibly could trap very small vermin-like mammals.
Name a type of plant cell that may not have chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts need sunlight for development. However, there are plants that do not have chloroplasts and therefore, do not need sunlight. Some of these plants include rhizomes, tubers, and root crops. Window leaf plants and parasitic plants also do not have chloroplasts.
What can microbes eat?
fungi bacteria viruses
Examples of parasitic nematodes?
Heartworm is an example of a parasitic nematode. Hookworms, pinworms, and trichina worm are also examples of parasitic nematodes. Parasitic nematodes affect plants as well, such as the pine wood nematode.
Please name two parasitic ferns?
Ferns are not parasitic, however some are "epithitic". Epiphytes are plants that grow upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically. They derive moisture and nutrients from the air and rain, not from the host on which they are anchored.
What are some examples of parasitic plants?
like cuscuta dodder plant & venus flytrap & rafflesia
Where do parasitic plants grow on?
A parasite lives on or in a host, which it depends on for survival. This relationship can be simply parasitic, where the host does not benefit from the parasite. This relationship may also be symbiotic, in which both the parasite and the host benefit.
How some plants live off other plants?
Angiosperms are seed plants that produce flowers enclosed within a carpel. Angiosperms that live off other plants are called parasitic angiosperms.
Some plants grow on trees rather than on the ground How can these plants get all the water and nutrients the need to survive?
They will either get their needed moisture from the tree or they will get it from the humidity and rain in the air. They are mostly parasitic plants that live off their host tree.
Why do fungi not belong to plants?
They are not producers and lack chlorophyll. They can not make their own food, though nether can some parasitic plants. Fungi have different cell walls than plants. Plants use cellulose to construct cells walls while fungi use chitin.
Why is sunlight needed by plants?
Most plants need sunlight to power the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to sugar, the process of photosynthesis which is done in the chloroplasts. Some plants do not need sunlight because they are parasitic on other plants, and do not have chlorophyll, so cannot photosynthesize. However, the vast majority of plants need at least some sunlight for photosynthesis.
Do all plants produce their food?
It depends what you mean by "food". All plants need sunlight, water and nutrients to "eat" and make energy which they do themselves. Most plants are able to obtain nutrients from the soil or water, but some plants are carnivorous and catch their own food in order to obtain nutrients which they could not otherwise obtain. Some of the common examples of this are the venus flytrap and the pitcher plants which are able to live in nutrient poor regions. These catch insects and digest them for nutrients, but they do not obtain energy from this process as carnivorous animals do.
How do plants react to other plants?
Usually they are fine, but if one becomes to big and spread it may kill the other plantA2. Some plants are parasitic, they take nourishment from their host plant. Others are epiphytes, they just perch on a host plant, but without taking nourishment.Some plants such as fungi aid in the decay of other plants.
