Carnivorous plants


Carnivorous plants

 
He Guys I'm back with some more stuff about plant but, this time I will be talking about the meat eating plants we all know and love.
 
 
There are over 600 meat eating planting plants in the world. Meat eating plants can make their own food using photosynthesis. If you want to learn more about that look at last weeks post. To be a carnivorous plant or meat eating plant you need to Catch attract insects or animals, trap insects or animals, and eat them. Most meat eating plants live in swampy wet lands. These plants have adapted to eating animals because they cant get enough food from the soil. There are a lot of different plans that eat meat.
 
Lets talk about my favorite meat eating plant the venues fly trap. Venues fly traps and eat meat. When a fly lands on the plant it will trigger the plant by stepping on the hairs and then snap. It only grows naturally in north Carolina. when a Fly trap eats it can take 8 to ten days to digest.

Now lets talk about the sundews. A lot or even half of them are found in Australia. Sundew can be found in all countries beside Antarctica. The sundew catches bugs in sticky drops an the leaf. After that the leaf curls up and traps the insect forever
 
Help me please
Now that we are done with the sundew lets talk about a different plan the pitcher plant Ya! This plant is found in Southwest Asia. It eats bugs like the others but, it also eats Frogs and some other small animals. This plant has thin tubes witch it uses to catch its pray. Sometimes this plant will have a lid on its tube to make shore its plant wouldn't escape. The way the meal is captures is the pray slides down a slippery part inside the tube and is dissolved.
 
The last plant I will be talking about is the Bladderworts, Yeah. Let me quickly get you interested this plan lives under water. It lives all over the world. They will capture insects bye attracting them with there smell. If the insect gets to close a trap opens and it sucks in water and the insect with it. The proses ends in about 1/3 of a second. That's a fast killer.
 
Ok I knew that these plants sound dangerous put they are harmless to humans in fact we do more harm to them bye destroying and polluting there home. We should be ashamed. Ok now on to the fast facts then I'm gone.
 
 

Fast facts

The venues fly trap is so famous in made in to Mario.

Once done eating a meat eating plant will eject the remains                                                                               

The cobra lily or Darlingtonia has clear cells on the top of its pitcher-like trap that work like a skylight

 

That's all for now bye.--->

Photsynthesis

Photosynthesis

Have you ever wondered how plants get food. They don't move and most cant catch their own food. So how do they get their food, they use photosynthesis. All plants use photosynthesis and it is an important part of the plant. with out it all plants would dye and use after.


All living things need to eat and plants will make their own food using photosynthesis plants get sugar from the sunlight that they use to make glucose. Their roots drink water. The stomata absorbs carbon dioxide.
 
plants are rea1y important because they release oxygen as a waste product. They basically take are carbon dioxide and give use oxygen. We take the oxygen and breath to them carbon dioxide.
 
 
 
 
 
 
In photosynthesis, the chlorophyll has an important job it traps energy from sunlight, and it stores it as chemical energy. Chlorophyll is also what makes the green plants green. The proses that the chlorophyll uses is this process splits molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The energy that the plant traps is used to create glucose from oxygen atoms. Glucose dissolves into extra water molecules and gives the plants plenty of food for growth.




       Water and carbon dioxide go throw the leaves into  the cells called the pulisade and the spongy cell.These contain chloroplast witch are filled with chlorophyll.

 
Fun facts with me.
More than half or about 70% of the worlds oxygen is made by phytoplankton photosynthesis in the world ocean.
About 25 of the world oxigen is made in the rain forest.
 The Tumbo Plant in Africa has only

The six kindoms

Hay guys I am back with another blog and today I will be talkinging about the six kindoms. The six kingdoms are Bacteria, Archea, Protist, Fungi, Plant and Animal. Her are somethings about each kindome.

Scientist like to keep their work to help them study. A early greek philosopher name Aristotle divided all life into to main carigories  plants and animals

The first kindom I will talk about is my favorit animals:D! All animals are multi-celled orgginism! Like you and me they have to eat to survive. Animals seem to move around alot but, some like coral will stay put. Animals have to find their food in the wild to survive by eating plants or other animals!








The next kindome I will be talking about is the plant kindome. Unlike animals they dont have to make their own food insted they use photosynthesis. The full difinition of photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. The plant cells have rigid walls made of a material called celluse. Cellulose means an insoluble substance that is the main constituent of plant cell walls and of vegetable fibers such as cotton.











 When you think of bacteria the first thing you will probelly think is a sickness or disese but, most bacteria is not harmful and actully helps. Bacteria comes in all sorts of shaps including spears, rods and spirals. you can find bacteria pretty mutch everywhere like in our air, are water or even inside you! Some bacteria helps use by breaking down food that we eat.

The next kindom I will be talking about is the fungi kindom. Scintest have made fungi its own kindom by the way they got their food. Unlike plants fungi can't make their own food. The way fungi lives is by sucking nutrients made by organisms. The definition of nutrients is a substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life. Fungi are usely found on dead animals or plants, getting red of the remains. alot or most fungi will attach theirself to what they are eating with clumps of tiney theds called hyphae. the ful definition of hyphae is each of the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus.
Lets talk some about the Archea Kingdom. These living life are some of the oldest things on earth. The weird part is that peaple didnt evan know about it intill the 1970's. The archea's can be found in alot of places but, they are able to survive in  harsh envirorment likedeep sea trenches or hot springs are alot of other places.

The last kindom I will be talking about is the protist kindom :D! I almost forgot this kingdom/Protist, bacteria, and archea most of them are single cell orginisms so now that i have that out of the way lets get back to the protist kindom. Protest cells have a nucleas unlike bacteria and archea. Protest are seperated up by how they get their food. Animal protest will have to hunt or capture their food. Plant protest will be able to make their own food by using sunlight but, some just do both

Fun facts with me

their are over 2500 speiceis of plants
Their are over 1 mil. know animals
most protist are unicellular wich means-haracterized by the formation or presence of a single cell or cells

Well thats all for now bye

Cells
 
 
Hey did you know that cells are in every thing alive! There are thousand of cells in you. There are many part of a cells. Cells kind of act like a factory.

The nucleus is basically the boss in a cell. It tells the other cells what to do. Which out the nucleus the cell wouldn't work in fact without any parts of the cell the cell wouldn't work.
One flexible cell membrane creates on the out layer of the cell. It revaluates the chemical balance of the cells by choosing what comes over, and ones who don't. This is an extremely important part of the cells because if a virus or something want to come take over than the cell membrane will say you can not come in. Think of it like a security guard protecting the cell from bad guys.

 
Inside the cell membrane there is a mixture of chemicals and water that is called cytoplasm. witch flows around the cell carrying structures called organelles that have different jobs.
The mitochondria breaks down food.
Lysosomes breaks down food, cell waste, and also warn down cell parts.
Vacuoles and vesicles are storage organelles that hang onto water, waste, and food until it is needed.
E.R or Endoplasmic reticulum is that ribby looking thing. Did you know that there are actually two types rough and smooth. The smoother ER is use to create and they store large molecules. The rough ER is studded with smaller structures called ribosomes.
 
If you where paying attention you would know I talked about ribosomes well guess what I am going to talk more about them :D .Ribosomes are in charge of making protein, which pretty much  is what cells need for every thing they do. Once the ribosome manufacture proteins the rough ER moves them to other parts in the cell.
 
 
The membrane covered sacs called Golgi bodies pack up protein that are ready to be sent out to your body.
That's all for now bye
