How plants communicate and think

Plant belong to another universe, a silent and simile simple world. They made food from sunshine which in turn feed to animal kingdom. What if plant is keeping secret from us? Do they have mind and intelligent? From the research of scientist they wonder if the plants have nervous system and memory. On the investigation of mind of plants begin with mystery which is a murder mystery. In late 1980, Savanna faced severe drought and as a result the country was devastated. Water holes are dried up and food became scares. Only the tough and wildlife living things can survive. We should not surprise that plants actually can kill animals. Carnivores plants eat animals. They have traps to eat the animals such as sticky fingers, snapping jaws or slippery slide to catch prey and this is how they adapted to live in pure soil and common said for nutrition defeasance. They even push their limit of refining by growing up their sexual organ far from their stomach in order to spare pollinating insects. Jean who is specialist in carnivorous plants said that the only place that carnivores plant do not exist are in the dessert and pose. Plants and animals are along side together as their need each other in the environment. They develop arsenal biological weapon to protect themselves. They also created the treasure throve of seductive power which is amazingly beautiful. They only get the time of freedom when seedling, falling to the ground or flooding to the air. They have learnt some important things to survive in this world which are adaptation and cooperation

Based on the video, it describe about in the mind of plant. Many scientist has do research on either the plant have a memory and nervous system. And it seems that research on plant is complex. There are variety types of plant. In our world, there are 650 species of carnivorous plants. Plant also can produce their food by process photosynthesis. Plant does not just classify by the way they make food, but also by their movement. Other than that, plant also has mastered an important role of survivor which is adaptation and cooperation. In Germany, Boon University is the only university do research on plant intelligent. Dr Dieter Volkmann, biologist, has conduct an experiments using simple technique to unlock the secret of plant perception and intelligent. Besides, plant can sense their environment for an example Mimosa pudica, the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. Plant also can live much longer. They can live more than 43,000,000 years. In Thailand, they found that plant also can respond to sound. There are some plants that sensitive to sound or noise. The plants grow by different style of music, which a jazz and classical music made them grow stronger while rock music kill them. We must know that plant also can communicate. The plants communicate with each other similar to some insect such as tree ant. The chemistry that plants use to communicate is complex. Furthermore, there are experiment conducts at Tohoku University in Japan which is do the plant sleep and what happen if they don’t? Incredibly plant does sleep. We have much to learn from the natural world. The idea of plant having intelligent is contradiction to our world. But at the same time, it is deeply consistent with the tree evolution.

Soil is the link between the air, water, rocks, and organisms, and is responsible for many different functions in the natural world that we call ecosystem services. As seen from the video, the soil can affect the livelihood of the species surrounding it in a great way. First of all, the soil serve as a base for plants to grow. The plants then functions as food for animals. However, the quality of the plant depends on the soil properties. This is related to the root-brain hypothesis by Charles Darwin. Darwin proposed that; "It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the tip of the radicle thus endowed [with sensitivity] and having the power of directing the movements of the adjoining parts, acts like the brain of one of the lower animals; the brain being seated within the anterior end of the body, receiving impressions from the sense-organs, and directing the several movements." Plants can interact in many different ways with its environment. In other words, they have sensations much like humans do. They respond to stimuli like tendrils curling around stems. It was determined that plants have ‘emotions’. An experiment was carried out to see if plants respond to music and it was proven that they do. Plants grow more healthily with electronic music on. Time also run differently for plants compared to animals. For example, a Giant Turtle may live for 3000 years but 3000 years is nothing for a plant because some tree species live up to 43000 years. Plants have chemical defenses that they use to communicate with one another. Just like ants, trees communicate by leaving chemical trails to ‘warn’ the other trees. For example, in the video, the acacia tree was warning the oak tree for the overpopulation of Kudus.

Plants as an important producer in our Earths as they belongs to another universe, a silent and seemingly simple world where they are autotrophic where they can make food from sunshine and in turn they pass feed the animal kingdom. Scientists ask questions about what if plants have mind, intelligence and also memory, do they perceive the environment or whether they have nervous system. Biologist studies out why the kudus sudden drop dead after kudu feeds on the small green leaf of the trees with defensive spike. Profesor Wouter Van hoven, a biologist states that the more the kudus stays in a group , the higher chance they had for dying. It shows that predators did not kill them since there are no injuries found. Among all the dead kudus, the kudus have unusually high doses of tannin in their body. Tannin are molecules that are often used for chemical defense to fight off parasites like leaf feeding insects. Plants normally only produce small quantities of tannin and large herbivores can just flush this low toxins out of the system through their liver. But the tannin level is far too high for the kudus to handle resulting the slowing down of the fermentation process. Besides it is not surprised to hear that plants are able to kill animal. Sometimes creatures can find themselves in an upside down world where what they normally eat eats them. Carnivorous plants have evolved where some have sticky fingers, elaborate tracks and so on. The oak can be said as the tree acting as a community. If the other species trying to route in their territory, the oak will release a chemical attack. Plants and animals have evolved alongside one another. Plants may feed animals but they in return they asked to be pollinated and their seed to be dispersed. Experiments conducted in Japan also show that plants need to sleep are like us and different music may affect the plants growth.
