How do bugs help plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Controlling growth, dispersing seeds, and eating predators are ways in which bugs help plants. For example, bugs that are not invading or swarming in response to environmental stress and that are not natural enemies (such as aphids) may eat just enough to contain -- and not permanently damage -- development while acting as natural controls on "bad bugs" (as in the interaction between beneficial ladybugs and harmful mealybugs) and natural supports for the next generation by spreading pollen or seeds.

Amphibians living in very cold places hibernate during winter. This keeps their bodies inactivate since they live on stored food in their abdomen.

Does a turtle hibernate in captivity?

User Avatar

Asked by ToriLovesAR

Actually, if the conditions are right, it will. The problem is, what if you lose power and the fridge goes off? What if there is a problem with the fridge and it seems to be working on the outside, but is actually not cold enough on the inside, or becomes dangerously cold? Your turtle could either awaken from its hibernation locked in a fridge with no food or escape, or would die from freezing.

All and all, do not put your turtle in a fridge. The turtle gets no physical benefits from hibernation, and it is far too risky.
