    This document summarizes key characteristics of different types of plants. It discusses how plants have adapted to survive in various environments through developing specific traits. It then provides examples and details about cacti, sunflowers, and carnivorous plants. Cacti have spines and survive in hot, dry conditions. Sunflowers can reach 3 meters tall and their oil contains vitamin E. Carnivorous plants obtain nutrients by trapping and consuming insects and have traps adapted for different catching methods.

    THE PLANTS

    By Javier Serrano
    Introduction

    The plants are one of the biggest groups of


    living things on Earth. Plants grow almost
    everywhere, at rocky mountains, others in
    depth of the ocean. Some plants grow in
    humid and shady places, others prefer a dry
    and sunny environment
    To survive in such conditions the plants have developed
    specific characteristics that help them to satisfy their basic
    needs

    Examples:
    cacti, sunflower, carnivorous plant
    Cacti
    Plant of origin mainly of
    America. The most
    important feature is the
    areola, from where
    spines arise, new shoots
    in many occasions,
    flowers.
    Its spines are sharp to
    prevent all animals from
    eating plants.
    They live in areas of
    extreme heat, tolerate
    drought. Excessive watering
    and poor drainage can
    lead to the appearance of
    fungi and the death of the
    plant.
    The gas exchange is done
    at night, the consumption of
    carbon dioxide, in reverse
    of the rest of the plants.
    Cactus can live up to 200
    years. Adult cactus
    measures 12-18 meters.
    The sunflower
    The sunflower is of North American and Central
    American origin. It can reach 3 meters.
    The most important part is the chapter, forming as the
    plant grows.
    The plant hormones allow greater growth control all
    the functions of plants: growth, flowering, fruit ripening,
    phototropism, etc.
    The fruits of the sunflower
    are the well-known pipes,
    and like the sunflower oil,
    they are very healthy. From
    the sunflower you get oil,
    which has a lot of vitamin E.
    The stems have fiber, can be
    used to make paper, and
    the leaves serve to feed the
    livestock One of the
    properties of the sunflower is
    its use against diseases such
    as catarrh, headache,
    rheumatism, in some
    wounds, etc.
    Carnivorous plants

    Most carnivorous plants originate in cold regions,


    although there are some that grow in tropical
    areas.
    The carnivora plant obtains most of its nutrients
    through the capture and consumption of animals
    and protozoa, usually insects. They grow in places
    like marshy acid lands and rocky cliffs.
    There are several
    types of plants
    depending on the
    type of catch: tongs
    (Venus flytrap), sticky
    hairs (Drosera,
    Pinguicula), drop traps
    (odre plants),
    mechanical traps
    (Utricularia), lobster-
    pot traps (Genlisea)
    Traps (Drosera
    glanduligera).
    Carnivorous plants need sunlight, substrate
    mix or moisture. Most require rainwater, running
    water contains minerals that would
    accumulate to kill the plant.
    Plants grown abroad obtain more than
    enough insects to feed themselves. Human
    maltreatment, insect plague and gray mold
    can be a major threat to carnivorous plants.
