Carnivorous plants
Figure 1. Carnivorous plants. When we chew and then swallow meat, we stimulate glands (pancreatic acinar cells) to secrete hydrochloric acid and proteases. Amino acids released into the human stomach by the acidic lytic sap are forwarded to and taken up by the intestine. When compared with the human endocrine system, the Venus flytrap also operates as a mouth, stomach and intestine, all combine...
متن کاملEarly Cretaceous Archaeamphora is not a carnivorous angiosperm
Archaeamphora longicervia H. Q. Li was described as an herbaceous, Sarraceniaceae-like pitcher plant from the mid Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province, northeastern China. Here, a re-investigation of A. longicervia specimens from the Yixian Formation provides new insights into its identity and the morphology of pitcher plants claimed by Li. We demonstrate that putative pitcher...
متن کاملCarnivorous Canada Geese
—Geese are normally herbivorous. I report an instance of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) feeding on alkali flies (Ephydra hians) at hypersaline Mono Lake, California. The bout was brief and possibly represented exploratory behavior by inexperienced birds. Received 22 December 2003, accepted
متن کاملThe D-galactose oxidase of Polyporus circinatus.
The mold Polyporus circinatus produces an extracellular oxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of n-galactose (1). The reaction appears superficially to be similar to the oxidation of n-glucose catalyzed by notatin (2)) and can be followed by measuring the consumption of oxygen or the production of Hz02 (1). The enzyme is useful for the determination of galactose, employing the same peroxidase-ch...
متن کاملCarnivorous Utricularia: the buckling scenario.
We review recent results about the functioning of aquatic carnivorous traps from the genus Utricularia. The use of high speed cameras has helped to elucidate the mechanism at the origin of the ultra fast capture process of Utricularia, at a millisecond time scale. As water is pumped out of the trap, pressure decreases inside the trap and elastic energy is stored due to the change of shape of th...
