Question { 3619 }

What is the difference between climbing roses and rambler
roses? Which are the hardier?

Answer

Ramblers have long, thin limber canes while climbers have
long, stiff thicker canes.

Ramblers are quite vigorous, resistant to diseases and
tolerant of heat and cold but most of them are once
flowering. Climbers, on the other hand, are mostly are
sports of bush or shrub roses or otherwise cultivated long-
caned hybrids. Many of them are relatively disease-
resistant and most are repeat-flowering

amblers are hardier compard to climbers

Answer

Poison ivy is the most common and widespread plant of the
three. It is characterized by its leaves, which have three
or five serrated-edge, pointed leaflets. Its leaves assume
bright colors in the fall, turning yellow and then red.
Poison ivy grows as a vine or free-standing plant in the
East, Midwest, and South and as a shrub in the far northern
and western United States, including the Great Lakes and
Canada.

Question { 3791 }

what is sturcture of a composite flower?

Answer

The main characteristic of the Asteracea is the composite
or compound nature of their flowers, or more properly
their "inflorescences". An inflorescence is an arrangement
of flowers in a cluster. What we would call an
individual "flower" on an aster or sunflower is, in fact, a
dense cluster of many tiny flowers, called "florets". Look
closely at an aster, daisy, sunflower or any other member
of the Asteracea and you can see the individual florets.
Most of the florets, that form the centre or disc of
the "flower", are tubular in shape and have no petals.
Around the edge of the "flower" are florets which have a
single petal attached to their outer edge. This array of
single-petalled florets encircling the other densely packed
florets appears to us to be a single "flower". The whole
inflorescence sits in a cup-like structure called an
involucre, which is a whorl of bracts (scaly, leaf-like
structures) below the "flower".

Question { 6235 }

what are the importance of pitcher plants?

Answer

Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants whose prey-trapping
mechanism features a deep cavity filled with liquid known
as a pitfall trap. It has been widely assumed that the
various sorts of pitfall trap evolved from rolled leaves,
with selection pressure favouring more deeply cupped leaves
over evolutionary time. However, some pitcher plant genera
(such as Nepenthes) are placed within clades consisting
mostly of flypaper traps: this indicates that this view may
be too simplistic, and some pitchers may have evolved from
flypaper traps by loss of mucilage.

Question { 3843 }

What is active transport in a plant?

Answer

Active transport is the movement of a molecule across a
membrane or another barrier that is driven by energy other
than stored in the concentration gradient or the
electrochemical gradient of the transported molecule. This
type of transport requires usually the expenditure of ATP
and the help of specific transport proteins
