Why do plants need humans?

Plants do not necessarily need humans to survive. However, humans provide certain benefits to plants such as suitable growing conditions, protection from pests, and resources like water and nutrients. In return, plants provide oxygen, food, and beauty to humans.


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 get nutrients from animals?

Plants do not actively get nutrients from animals. Instead, some plants have evolved to form mutualistic relationships with animals, such as certain types of carnivorous plants that capture and digest insects for additional nutrients.


Which plants are poisonous to humans?

Some common plants that are poisonous to humans include oleander, foxglove, and deadly nightshade. It is important to be cautious and avoid ingesting these plants.


What are some examples of non-chlorophyll plants and how do they obtain their nutrients and energy without the ability to photosynthesize?

Non-chlorophyll plants, such as fungi and some parasitic plants, obtain nutrients and energy by either decomposing organic matter or by parasitizing other plants. Fungi, for example, absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, while parasitic plants like dodder extract nutrients from their host plants. These non-chlorophyll plants rely on alternative methods to obtain the resources needed for their survival since they cannot photosynthesize like chlorophyll-containing plants.

Can plants steal other plants nutrients?

Yes, some plants can release chemicals to inhibit the growth of neighboring plants and compete for nutrients. This process is known as allelopathy. Additionally, some plants with invasive roots can outcompete other plants for nutrients by absorbing them from the soil before neighboring plants can access them.
