What is one way plants use the sugars produced during photosynthesis?
How do plants use sugars produce during photosynthesis?
I think some of the sugars are needed to for the plant to grow properly and help it develop. I also think some of the others are used again during photosyntheis.
Not really sure but hope it helps

If some plants r poisonous, y HAVN’T humans developed a toxin against mosquitoes?
ima turn into a frog
haha, you guys can’t figure out the comparison I made? Why is the sky blue? That has nothing to do on developing a defense against predators/pests. Care for me to enlighten some of you?? I brought up the, “some plants are poisonous”, b/c it helps from being digested by other creatures. Now, back to the question, I’ve figured that since creatures mutate to cope with their environments better, why haven’t we deveolped a toxin against mosquitoes? I was looking for an educated answer, haha, I get brighter answers on polls/surveys.
(Can’t believe I had to explain my question in further detail)
being a frog would suck dee
they have poor hearts that are inefficient in blood flow lol.
idk much bout plants.

is animal like, plant like, and fungi like protista prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
i need info on the protista info for animal, plant, and fungi like so i can finish my project..
it wouldn’t be *you* finishing your project – it would be *us* finishing it for you!
Listen, you are going to have to start doing your own homework – you can’t take us along with you to college, you know.
I am going to give you access to an online science book, and it will have those answers in it.

Herb Garden Information: Knowing The Herbal Medicine Plants
For those who don't trust the pharmaceutical companies, herbal medicine plants are safe and healthy alternatives in healing several diseases and illnesses. However, there are several things that you should consider before purchasing any of these herbs and use them. Herbal medicine plants are drugs that should be treated carefully and respectfully. While these herbs are more natural than those processed drugs that can be bought in the drug stores, they still share many of the components that can be found also in prescriptive medications. As a herb garden information, caring for your herbal medicine plants is just as easy as taking care of any plant, and many of the common ones (like the oregano), can be used for both home remedies and cooking. This will be able to transform your own garden into a multi-purpose project which will allow you to make most of the plants that you're keeping.
When you decide which herbal medicine plants to keep, there are some stuff that you should keep in mind. The first thing you do is label each of your plants, so you won't make any mistakes in identifying them in your garden. If the plants have some poisonous components, then these should be labeled and kept out of the children's reach. Remember that there are many useful herbs that have poisonous components, so this is quite important.
Keep detailed notes on how these plants should be prepared for use. A lot of these herbs cannot simply have their leaves pulled and eatn to get their medicinal benefits. You have to dry the leaves or saturate them as teas first in order to release their medicinal benefits.
With the case of some of these plants, the fruits and flowers are the ones that are going to be preserved for medicinal purposes. It's quite important to handle these plants very carefully, as these can have toxic components.
The are a lot of diseases and illnesses that these plants can help cure. These plants can really improve the quality of life as they negate the symptoms of pregnancy, treat the common cold and treat deadly diseases such as cancer. These plants can also be used in promoting healthier weights and boosting up your body's digestive capabilities.
If you've got any questions or concerns regarding your herbal medicine plants and other herb garden information, contact your pharmacist or your local herbalist

Extinct species and its detrimental effects on humans!?
Many species are endangered and close to extinction, oftentimes due to anthropogenic factors.
Is there a plant or animal species, should it become extinct, that would have a detrimental or
positive effect on the human species?
Most extinctions would do little to affect humanity – on the surface. But every extinction reduces the genetic diversity of an ecosystem. It makes the ecosystem more vulnerable: climate change may seriously damage an ecosystem, even though it might actually have been “better” (more biomass) with less species, in the current climate. As such, any extinction may damage an ecosystem tremendously in time, which could lead to diverse and annoying effects. (less fertile farming ground, desertification, etc.)
On the detrimental effects on humanity, it is useful to note that, logically, there is a direct correlation between the effect on humanity and how common the species is. But this also means that the most detrimental of extinctions are also the most unlikely. Pigs will not die out. Neither will grass, or wheat, or rice. Nor fishable fish (although they would reach such low numbers that they’re pretty much uncatchable).
A positive effect? I think not. There is no species which serves no purpose in an ecosystem. There is no species which is a threat to us which also doesn’t keep herbivores in check, or reduce waste.

Great news for heart patients!
Heart patients rejoice: A revolutionary new drug has taken the medical world by storm. The makers of this ‘wonder pill’ prefer calling it a ‘natural dietary supplement’ that in itself contains all the benefits of the heart-friendly Mediterranean diet.
This news should come as a giant relief for millions of people around the world who suffer from chronic heart diseases. An estimated 80,000,000 people in the United States have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heart and circulatory disease is the UK’s biggest killer with the statistics indicating a toll of just over 193,000 people every year.
The secret ingredient: Many followers of Mediterranean diet have long explained the benefits of adopting a steady diet consisting of abundant plant foods, fresh fruit, olive oil, dairy products, etc. Tomatoes are especially used in abundance. Aside from being a delicious part of the cuisine, they are also known for their cancer-fighting properties and ability to behave as a blood-purifier and natural antiseptic.
Tomato skin contains an active ingredient called lycopene which is what gives the tomato its red colour. Lycopene is extremely beneficial as an anti-oxidant and can also fights cancer cells. Though this was a well-known fact, no real breakthrough was made in this direction due to the pigment’s inability to get absorbed in its raw form by the human body.
Recipe for success: ATERONON™, the brain-child of Cambridge Theranostics comprising of scientists from Cambridge University, tries to harness this powerful anti-oxidant for its pill. The lycopene used is supposedly obtained from the skins of the tangerine tomato.To simplify the process of absorption of lycopene, a compound formed using lycopene and whey proteins are used which reduces the size of lycopene molecules thus making them easy to absorb. The compound was developed Nestle and it is known as ‘lactolycopene’. One pill is supposed to provide the amount of lycopene equivalent to that from three kilos of tomatoes.
ATERONON™ could be advisable for heart-patients since lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that blocks the breakdown of fats in the blood. The compound in the pill will help retard the oxidation of LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in the body which is the major cause for arteriosclerosis and strokes.
The pill currently costs £34.99 and is available over-the-counter at drug-stores. Doctors and scientists are still critical of the effects of using this drug. However preliminary trials of a hundred and fifty patients in Cambridge yielded over-whelming positive results with reports claiming that ATERONON™ can reduce the damage due to bad cholesterol up to 90% in just 2 months.
The NHS currently spends more than £500 million a year on statins.Though these drugs may have contributed to a 30% overall fall in the risk of death due to high cholesterol levels, they however do not prevent the oxidation of LDL. And half of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people who do not have an elevated cholesterol level. This fact in future may necessitate the use of a supplementary drug like ATERONON™.
