Tuba-tuba leaves, derived from the Jatropha plant, contain toxic compounds such as phorbol esters that can be harmful to insects. These compounds disrupt the insects' nervous systems, leading to paralysis or death. Additionally, the strong bitterness of the leaves can deter insects from consuming them, making them an effective natural insecticide against pests like ants and cockroaches.

How do lemurs get energy?

Lemurs get energy the same way other animals do--by consuming food, which usually consists of fruit, leaves, and/or insects.


What can you find in a pitcher?

A 'pitcher' is another name for a jug and they are usually used to hold liquids. There is also a carniverous 'pitcher plant' which grows liquid filled 'pitchers' on the tips of its leaves. Insects and small amphibians are attracted to and fall in these and are then digested by the plant for the nutrients they provide.

Are the Venus Flytrap and the Pitcher plant homologous or analogous?

Neither really. Or both. It depends on the level of organization you are talking about.So... they are both made out of modified leaves, but they function totally differently. You could just as easily add in a maple leaf and say they are all homologous. Yes, they both catch insects, but in such different ways, it doesn't seem right to use that UNLESS you are talking about microscopic features relating to digestion.Analogous means that they look/function similarly, but the structures that are being compared don't share an evolutionary history. Again, it depends on what level of organization you are talking about. There are different genera of plants that make pitchers, some are monocots and others are dicots. The leaves of monocots are pretty distinct, so do they count as the same structure?


Are voles primary or secondary consumers?

Voles are rodents which makes them secondary consumers recalling the fact that they eat varieties of different things like grass, plants, bulbs, seeds, roots, flowers, leaves, bark and insects etc. They are also considered scavengers too since they eat whatever they can possibly eat.
