Rose plants have prickles not thorns. Prickles are sharp pointed hairs that contain epidermal and subepidermal tissues. A thorn is a short, sharp modified stem. Roses use prickles to ward off predators which may help extend their life.
Well, it all depends on your senses. Certain noises could make you feel unpleasent, while others may not. It all depends on what noises you don't like and what noises you do like.
Why do people think its cool to wear over sized clothes while others wear theirs tight? Why are some people republican while others are democrats? Why do some people follow a certain religion while others follow a different one? People are people and since we all have different minds, we prefer different things and ideals. In other words, it's a matter of personal opinion, and you would be best off asking an individual why they do what they do.
Carnivores are secondary consumers because herbivores are primary because they eat the plants that contain all the energy and carnivore doesn't eat plants but eats the herbivores. fx: plants is a food for deer and deer is a food for lions.
There are many rituals that swim teams may have. Some might eat the same thing for breakfast before every meet. Other might listen to certain songs. While still others may choose to visualize themselves winning.
Mavericks, which are unbranded cattle or wild cattle, do not inherently have horns; it depends on the breed. Some cattle breeds, like certain types of mavericks, may have horns, while others are polled, meaning they naturally do not grow horns. So, whether a maverick has horns or not varies based on its genetics.
Thorns can vary in hardness due to differences in their structure, composition, and the plants they come from. Some thorns may have a higher water content or be less densely packed, making them softer to the touch compared to thorns that are more rigid and densely structured. Additionally, the evolutionary purpose of the thorn can influence its hardness, with some evolved to be more pliable for defensive purposes while others are hard and sharp for protection.
Yes, cucumber plants can have sharp thorns, particularly on their stems and leaves. These thorns are small, spiky projections that can help deter herbivores from eating the plant. While they are not as pronounced as thorns on some other plants, they can still cause minor irritation if handled without care. Overall, the thorns are a natural part of the plant's defense mechanism.
No, cranberries do not have thorns when they grow. Cranberry plants are low-growing vines with small, leathery leaves and produce berries that are typically harvested from bogs. While the plants may have some woody stems and can have a few small, sharp points, they are not classified as having thorns like some other plants.
Plants have developed thorns or poisons as a defense mechanism against herbivores or predators. Thorns can deter animals from feeding on the plant, while poisons can make the plant unpalatable or even harmful if consumed. These adaptations help plants survive and reproduce in their environment.
it is their evolutionary defense against attackers. In a desert environment, water is very scarce. Therefore, every small amount of water absorbed by plants is indispensable to plant survival. The purpose of thorns is to protect the fleshy stems (which contain water) of the cactus from predators.
Hooks and thorns are important to climbing plants because they help provide support and aid in climbing structures such as trees or trellises. Hooks can also help climbing plants attach themselves to surfaces, while thorns can act as a defense mechanism against herbivores.
The pigments involved (e.g. chlorophyll in green plants, phycoerythrin in red algae) only absorb photons of certain energies and reflect others. This is due to the elements in the pigment molecule and how they are bound.
Mutualism relationships are when two different organisms help each other out. In the forest, bees and flowers have a mutual relationship. Ants also nest inside plants thorns, and eat while the thorns protect them.Ê
Not all potato plants flower during their growth cycle. Some varieties of potatoes do not produce flowers, while others may produce flowers under certain conditions.
Don't be a kunt and please tell what type of plants you are on about.
Prickles and thorns are both types of plant structures that serve as defenses against herbivores, but they differ in their origin and structure. Prickles are outgrowths of the epidermis or outer layers of the plant, like those found on rose stems. Thorns, on the other hand, are modified branches or stems that can be found in plants like hawthorn. Essentially, prickles are superficial, while thorns are more deeply embedded in the plant's structure.
Plants may become toxic, poisonous or distasteful to grazing animals. Some plants develop sharp spines or thorns. The holly, for instance, has spines round the edge of leaves that grow low down, while the leaves near the top may be spineless.
