Plants and Intellegence

The Animal kingdom is made up of beings with Eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a fully formed nucleus and most of the common organelles of a cell. They are also Multicellular, meaning they have more than one cell. These organisms are Heterotrophs, so they must find their own food, by eating other organisms. They can’t make their own food.The plant kingdom contains Multicellular beings with Eukaryotic cells. The plants are also autotrophs meaning they make their own food (excepting the hydra which does eat other organisms). They use Photosynthesis to turn sunlight and nutrients into food. They are green because the contain chlorophyll to help them create food.

From a diagram of an idealized flower, correctly label the following structures and describe the function of each structure:

Michael Pollan, author of The Botany of Desire: A Plant’s View of the World, addresses four major plant groups that have both changed for human needs and simultaneously changed human’s needs. While most gardeners, genetic engineers and other plant related professionals have long-believed that plants have evolved based on what we want or need to survive and in other words what we have “domesticated”, Pollan appeals to the plant’s view. Plants’ survival has been solely based on what humans desire both depending on their visual and stimulatory appeal along with their appeal to an appetite. Conversely, plants have used humans as a strategy for “getting us to move and think for them (page xx)”. Many plants have successfully maneuvered humans for

One widely accepted idea is that of the five senses and we know plants possess some of these senses.“When we smell something, we sense a volatile chemical that’s dissolved in the air, and then react in someway to this smell...When one fruit starts to ripen, it releases this hormone which is called ethylene, which is sensed by neighboring fruits, until entire trees and groves ripen more or less in synchrony”(Garet Cook, Do plants think). Plants can have a sense of smell and can react to it and if having perception means being animate plants must be

As the world progresses, new discoveries are made and old notations are being questioned. The study of plants in particular has raised questions among scientists and others to whether they have abilities that would classify them as intelligent. The Intelligent Plant by Michael Pollan delves into this mystery and whether people should start looking at plants in a different light. While there is an accumulation of findings on how plants are intelligent, its bases can be compared to those of psychology. Ultimately, the conclusion of whether plants are intelligent is still debatable.

Without human interaction with the plant it would kill its self or the others around it. That is what farmers do, they interact with plants and with their help make them grow to a point that they can feed everyone they need. There are many different theories how farming

They concede that there may be some spectrum of intelligence, but counter that we cannot count the perception-action coupling so as to approximate the range of intelligence we, or any other organism, might have. I breathed a slight sigh of relief after reading this section. If, at some point, I decide to buy the plant intelligence argument, which at the moment, despite thinking that it makes sense, I cannot do, then I may take solace in the idea that there is still some unquantifiable difference in intelligence between my houseplants and I.

Plants are able to grow, but how? They don’t have blood or bones. They have stems, and trees have trunks. How can all of these things be so perfect and yet all be a mistake? It shows how there has to be a maker or a creator.

The author particularly and uniquely writes through the eyes of the plants and, in doing so, lets us see from a different perspective. This book is written with a very personal touch and passion for nature. The wisdom of gardening explains why we grow certain types of apples, tulips, use marijuana, and why we doubt eating genetically-engineered potatoes, yet, within the context of human-plant relationship, it brings the uniqueness out of this book. One main theme from the book is that humans have manipulated plants in agriculture and cultivation throughout history. Humans

Intelligence can mean different things to each and every person. Intelligence is a topic scientist are still studying and have been for years. Flowers For Algernon portrays intelligence and its values in the best way ever. Flowers For Algernon has a good point of view on intelligence because it shows how intelligence can have an effect on you life style, the way you view others, and the way others view you.

What do plants need to survive? The answer is simple. There are multiple key factors that are necessary to a plant’s survival. The first is water. No plant can survive without water. There is also the important factor of sunlight. Sunlight gives the plant the necessary energy it needs to undergo photosynthesis. An important factor that nobody else really thinks about is measurement. The right amount of everything is what makes the plant grow high and mighty. Any wrong measurements of materials can cause the plant to die. There is also air. Air is the one thing that no living specimen can survive without. Plants also need space to survive. If the plants get too crowded, then those plants start to compete for resources. Eventually, one plant

Plants can connect with other plants around it. Think of the movie “Avatar”. The scientist say that the trees have a root system that connects with all of the other plants around it. Well, the plants here on earth are very similar. Infact it’s almost the same. The plants on “Avatar” connect with all the plants and they can receive and store data, memories from all of

Undoubtedly, an inspirational approach which elucidates that people matters, not just in the professional, but also in the personal context. Furthermore, in considering the gardener perspective, a great leader will irrigate, fertilize, weed, and transplant its human resources capital to maintain the healthiest and happiest workforce possible; surely, MindTree management early realized that people as the main asset of MindTree, requires the attention that makes them feel important, appreciated, and with clear opportunities that allow them to increase its quality of life. Therefore, such a mentality from the top down seeks to continuously nurture a culture of "high care" which aims to accelerate high performance, the generation of innovative

     Plants are autotrophs that mean they are able to synthesize food directly from inorganic compounds, instead of relying on other organisms. They use carbon dioxide gas and water to produce sugars and oxygen

Humans depend on plants in numerous ways. One reason we depend on plants is for consumption. Plants have the unique ability of producing their own food through a process called photosynthesis. In this process, plants are able to produce macromolecules such as carbohydrates that cannot be produced in animals or humans. In humans, the only to gain these macromolecules is to consume plant matter, or consume plant-eating animals (herbivores).
