Usually they are fine, but if one becomes to big and spread it may kill the other plant

A2. 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.

Are all plants prokaryotes?

No, plants are not prokaryotic. The only prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and archaea, which are the most primitive forms of life. These do not have cell nuclei or other organelles. All other life-including plants-is eukaryotic, meaning that each cell contains a nucleus and other organelles.


What molecules are made up of glucose?

Glucose molecules can join together to form larger molecules such as glycogen (energy storage in animals), starch (energy storage in plants), and cellulose (structural component in plants). Glucose can also react with other molecules to form more complex carbohydrates, such as sucrose and lactose.


Plants that have no green coloring and obtain their food from other plants and from animals?

They are called heterotrophic plants, such as Indian pipe or ghost plant. They lack chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesize, so they rely on other plants or animals for nutrition. These plants are often found in low light environments like forests.


Can plants eat plants?

Interesting question. Plants don't really "eat". Plants produce sugars from photosynthesis, even plants that seem to "eat" insects are not trapping insects for energy, but for other nutrients such as nitrogen. With this being said, when a plant dies and its nutrients return to the soil, those ions and molecules are absorbed by the root systems of the plants in the immediate area. So in the traditional sense, Plants do not eat other plants, but they are able to derive some of their required molecules from their fallen brothers.


How do plants affect humans?
