Insectivore/carnivore plants include:\n-The pitcher plant, which grows "pitchers" that hold digestive juices and is known to "consume" small frogs.\n-The sundew, which catches insects on sticky tentacle-like appendages on its leaves.\n-Bladderworts, which live in water and use bladder-like traps to catch prey.\nYou can find an extensive listing of carnivorous plants here:\nhttp://www.sarracenia.com/faq.html\n\nAs for the reproduction of the Venus flytrap, it can reproduce both sexually and asexually.  The plant produces flowers (which are pollinated by insects) which generate tiny seeds.\nThe plant can also reproduce asexually via its rhizome.\nThis site provides good information on how these plants reproduce:\nhttp://www.botany.org/bsa/misc/carn.html\n\nHope this is helpful :-)

A corm is a short, thick, vertical underground stem that survives from one season to the next in a dormant state. The second season it produces one or more aerial stems and also one or more new corms. The new corms store food produced by the growing plant and then go through the next dormant period to produce their own plants and corms the following season. The “bulbs' of gladiolus are actually corms.\n\nPart 2 of your question\n\nVegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction found in plants also called vegetative propagation or vegetative multiplication. \nThe problem of sex\n\nIn sexual reproduction, a new organism is formed by the fusion of two gametes. It is to be contrasted with asexual reproduction, in which females produce offspring without any male contribution; the female's gametes develop directly into female offspring. \n\n• In sexual reproduction, the sex cells - eggs and sperm or pollen - are produced by a reduction division and the gametic fusion restores the original chromosome complement. \n\n• In asexual reproduction, there is either no reduction division (apomixis) or the product cells of one individual's reduction division fuse together again (automixis). Asexual reproduction is rare, but occurs in species such as dandelions (pictured opposite).\n\nIt is easy for a mutation to convert meiosis into mitosis, and thus a sexually reproducing into an asexually reproducing female. \n\nIf the loss of sex would be relatively easy, why is sex maintained? \n\nAlthough some species do reproduce asexually, the majority are sexual. So there is probably a selective advantage to sex in most species. \n\nThis advantage, moreover, must be large, because it has to overcome an automatic two-fold cost of sex, relative to asexual reproduction.

Regeneration is when an being regrows a lost limb or other body part. Some lizards can regenerate their tails if they break off. (Although usually smaller.)\n\nPlants reproduce through sexual means, but they do not have sex. (That would interesting.) All that means is two individuals can reproduce which each other, although it is possible for a flower to reproduce with itself.  Pollen is basically their sperm and travels from one plant to another through insects, like bees, and wind. Then the flowers die and they form seeds. Some plants, like pine trees and ferns reproduce with spores, which work in roughly the same way.\n\nIf you're interested in all the techincal terms that I didn't use, check out the source.

Some plants can reproduce asexually using their stems, roots or by producing bulbs. These plants can also have flowers and reproduce sexually.

Velvet Ants, check them out.  Also there are monarch butterfly look alikes.  Monarchs taste bad due to the milkweed they feed upon. There are lots of examples... the hour glass on a black widow for exmple, but spiders are arachnids.

All known species of potato bug are omnivorous (this means that, like you and me, they eat nearly everything) though in captivity most species do best on a mixture of dried feed/grains, fresh vegetables or fruit, human skin (old scabs), dead bugs or small animals. \nHere's a great article about keeping these insects as pets that you might want to read before considering them as a household member:\n\nhttp://www.potatobugs.com/articles/as_pets.html\n\nHope this helps!

Perhaps you are thinking of a general term, like phototropism ... meaning movement towards light. This is the phenomenon shown by sunflowers turning towards the sun. Some of the insectivorous plants that others mentioned, like Sarracenia, Nepenthes and Cephalotus don't actually move but catch their prey passively by luring them into their 'pitchers'. Fly Traps move, Drosera moves (v-e-r-y slowly) and Utricularia moves to trap the small critters in the little bladders. One plant that no-one has mentioned is the sensitive plant -- the second link shows it in action (response to a flame but touch will do it) and gives this movement the jaw-breaking name thigmonasty!!

The first example would be "halpodiploidy" that occurs in bees, ants and wasps. In this form of asexual reproduction, females lay unfertilized eggs. The eggs can then hatch without fertilization, giving an asexually produced male, or they can be fertilized by a male, giving a sexually produced female.\n\nA second example would be "parthenogenesis" (Greek for "virgin birth"), seen in some fish, reptiles and amphibians. One commonly studied reptile species, the lizard Cnemidophorus neomexicanus, contains only females. All progeny contain the exact genetic information as its mother, essentially making it a clone. The females still engage in lesbian sexual behavior, which is thought to stimulate the laying of eggs. No genetic information, however, is transferred during this sexual act.\n\nThere are many other examples, and the previous answer touched on a few. I would add that anthrax is a bacterium, and therefore NOT a many-celled organism.

I'm an animal scientist, but I can probably answer these questions:\n1.Why is reproduction an important process for living organism?\nIf an organism does not reproduce, their species will become extinct, so it is in their best interest to reproduce to continue the species.\n2.Explain why a pollen tube is important\nThe pollen tube transfers the pollen from the top of the "pistil" to the bottom so that fertilization can take place.\n3.How does a fruit differ from a seed?  The fruit is actually the ovary of the plant, while the seed is the begining of a plant, which can be put in the ground to produce a whole new plant.\n4.In a flower, why is the anther elevated? The anther is elevated so that the pollen can easily be transfered by wind, insects, etc.  \n5.In a flower, why is the stigma elevated?  This is so the pollen can easily be transmitted.  If it were not elevated, the petals would get in the way of pollenation\n6.In a flower, why is the stigma sticky?  So the pollen can more readily attach\n7.Why are the petals coloured?  Technically speaking, this is due to pigments in the petals that reflect light.  But the answer you are probably looking for is that the color will attrach insects/birds.\n8.Why do flower have scent?  To attract insects/birds\n9.Why so flowers produce nectar?  To attract insects/birds

They produce chemicals that are poisonous/unpleasant tasting (milkweed)\nOr produce chemicals that attract predators of the plant-eating insect\n\nThey grow thorns or spikes or itchy hairs (greenbriar)\n\nThey have a symbiotic relationship with ants who do the protecting (acacia trees)

Some reptile species are parthenogenetic (from Greek: virgin + originate, generate). That is, the development of the ovum can be triggered without sperm intervention.\nAs a consequence, these populations are only formed by females and all the offspring are genetically identical to their mothers (unless there is some recombination at cross-over, which I'm not sure about). \nThere are only a few lizards and snakes that present this mechanism; see the links below for the best known parthenogenetic snake species (there are probably others that have not been studied yet). \nHere in Argentina we have some parthenogenetic lizards! :)

eyelids... :-)\n\nSome species of moth do not have a digestive system; therefore, the adult moth does not eat. An example is the cecropia moth -- and fittingly, it only lives for a few days -- hopefully to mate.

Non-vascular, non-seed plants are called bryophtes. These include liverworts, hornwarts, and mosses. They differ from flowering plants in that they are gametophyte-oriented, or in other words they contain both male and female parts on the same plant. Also, they reproduce by spores, not seeds. The parts needed to produce such spores obviously. A flowering plant, like say a rose for instance, would only have female or male parts, but not both. Then a bee or hummingbird could tranfer the pollen from a male plant to female plant, for example.

you got zebrinny(offspring of male horse and female zebra),zebrule(hybrid offspring of male zebra and female horse)zebu(ox with hump and dewlap)zemni(blind mole rat)zho(cross between yak and a cow),zizel(chipmunk)zonure(small south african lizard)zosterops(a small tropical bird)zumbador(south african humming bird).it was real learning for me too...answering this question..after listing all this i began thinking if getting all this was a kind of zoosophy or zoomania!!

There are many species of insect eating plants throughout the world. The Venus Flytrap is only one of many. There are sundews which use sticky tentacles to trap prey, Pitcher plants which use a pit fall method to drown prey in a pool of digestive juices, Butterworts are like flypaper, and bladderworts have a unique suction trap that sucks microscopic animals into them. There are many sites covering these plants on the internet, and most people are surprised how easy these plants are to grow. You'll find the link to my site below.
