Dodder is a fairly well known group of parasitic plants that form iconic masses of yellow, leafless vines over their hosts. Dodder plants are aggressive and use root-like organs called haustoria to penetrate the stems of their hosts and siphon off their water and nutrients, often to the point of host-death. Given that dodder species have little to no chlorophyll with which to make their own nutrients, it is crucial for young seedlings to find a host before they run out of the energy supplied by their seeds. Studies have shown that these seedlings can use airborne volatile organic compounds to locate their host plants. Dodder seedlings can even detect which of their neighbouring plants are more suitable hosts and will actively grow towards them. Once a young plant successfully reaches a host, its embryonic root rots away and it becomes wholly dependent on its parasitism.

Why are young seedlings supposed to find a host?

The ancient Egyptian hoped not only to extend life beyond the grave, but to become part of the perennial, or continual, life of nature. The two most important concepts concerning the afterlife were the ka and the ba. The ka was a kind of double or other self, not an element of the personality, but a detached part of the self. It was sometimes said to guide the fortunes of the individual in life, like the Roman genius, but was clearly most associated with a person’s fortunes in the hereafter. When people died they were said to join with their ka. More important perhaps than the ka was the concept of the ba. The ba is perhaps loosely identifiable as the soul of a person. More specifically the ba was the manifestation of an individual after death, usually thought to be represented in the form of a bird. The Egyptians also believed in the concept of akh, which was the transformation of some of the noble dead into eternal objects. The noblest were often conceived of as being transformed into stars, thus joining in the changeless rhythm of the universe.

More than 99 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions. Though mass extinctions are deadly events, they open up the planet for new forms of life to emerge. The most studied mass extinction, which marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Palaeogene periods about 66 million years ago, killed off the nonavian dinosaurs and made room for mammals, including human beings, and birds to rapidly diversify and evolve. Though the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction is famous for being caused mainly by a huge asteroid, it is the exception. The single biggest driver of mass extinctions appears to be major changes in Earth’s carbon cycle such as large igneous province eruptions, huge volcanoes that flooded hundreds of thousands of square miles with lava.

We can infer from the passage that —-.

The distribution of feral pigs has increased five-fold since they were first recorded in Brazil in 2007. This species is becoming a dominant mammal in Brazil’s Atlantic forest and could potentially invade the Amazon region, as well, according to Felipe Pedrosa, an ecologist from São Paulo State University in Brazil who studies the impacts of feral pigs on biodiversity and co-authored the study. The natural range of feral pigs is mostly in Europe and Asia, but the species, which is considered one of the worst invasive species in the world, has been introduced in Australia, South America, and the USA. As they invade new territory, damage to crops such as maize, sugarcane, and soybeans as well as predation of native birds and mammals usually increases as well. As their numbers increase, feral pigs provide an ever-increasing blood supply to vampire bats, increasing the bat’s population in turn. Vampire bats are a threat to livestock and humans alike throughout the tropical Americas due to their role as a “reservoir” of several infectious diseases, including rabies, the researchers say.

Slice into an onion and you unleash a chain of chemical reactions. Stable molecules in the onion’s tissues transform into a volatile, sulphur-containing gas. This gas reacts with the eyes to form small amounts of sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid can lead to itching, burning, and tears. But the process is more complicated than that. Eric Block and other scientists have been struggling to come up with the full picture for more than 40 years. “The more compounds we discovered, the more complicated the picture became.” Block says. Block has been working on the problem since the 1970s. This sulphur-containing chemical is called lachrymatory factor, or LF. (This comes from the Latin word lacrima, which means “tear”.) He knew that LF must start off as a different molecule. That’s because it only caused a tearing of the eyes once the onion’s skin was broken. He hypothesized that a chemical reaction must take place as an onion is cut. Block thought this chemical reaction must convert a stable molecule into one that could quickly vaporize and burn the eyes.

Bill:

‒ You must have witnessed animals playing around and having fun. Do you know any other reasons why they are so into playing apart from having fun, of course?

Jim:

‒ Well, it’s also a learning tool, isn’t it? Considering they’re playing at fighting, wouldn’t it be, in a way, practising to hunt other animals?

Bill:

‒ Certainly. Think of wolves. Young wolves always engage in a sort of play-fighting. —-

Jim:

‒ Yeah, they will do so because she knows cubs will need those skills once they go off on their own.

Sonja:

‒ Yes, certainly. All China’s 1.26 billion residents are on Beijing’s time, although China’s east-west span would otherwise straddle five time zones.

Brian:

‒ It must have certain consequences then.

Sonja:

‒ Sure, it does. The country’s eastern and western extremes are at least two hours out of sync with the nations at their borders. In the remote Pamir Mountains, a noontime hop across the border into Afghanistan transports a person back to 8:30 a.m.

Susan:

‒ I saw Jason in your office again this morning, Emily. What did he want this time?

Emily:

‒ He needs money. He shares a flat with a couple other students, and he can’t pay this month’s rent as he’s been spending too much lately.

Susan:

‒ Well, we can sort it out, can’t we? —-

Emily:

‒ Yeah, it’s the obvious solution, but the trouble with that is it’s the third time he’s run out of money. There’s a pattern: he spends too much money, he can’t pay the rent, and then he gets a loan from friends or the student union. It’s a vicious circle. I think he must first learn how to manage his money.

Martin:

‒ Here in the article it says that culture in tropical Asia and the tropical Pacific is vibrant and diverse, offering a huge number of languages, religions, and traditions.

Intrinsic resistance, on the other hand, is when the bacteria never respond to the antibiotics they have always had resistance.

Homo erectus is an extinct species of humans that occupies an intriguing spot within the human evolutionary lineage. —- That is because fossils connected with this species have been found ranging from Africa all the way to Southeast Asia. With the first remains appearing around two million years ago, and the latest ones surviving into the Middle Pleistocene, Homo erectus spanned an extraordinarily large time frame. However, the amount of variation between different fossils from different times and places has raised a lot of questions regarding the actual classification of the species, and its exact role in the evolutionary story.

(I) Cars begin to have a big impact on the planet even before they make it to the open road. (II) Cars can convey a sense of freedom and movement, not to mention style and status. (III) Automotive production leaves a giant footprint because materials like steel, rubber, glass, plastics, paints, and many more must be created before a new ride is ready to roll. (IV) Similarly, the end of a car’s life does not mark the end of its environmental impact. (V) Plastics, toxic battery acids, and other products may stay in the environment.

(I) Alternative “milks” made from plants like soya or almonds are increasingly popular. (II) Milk contains a type of sugar called lactose, which is distinct from the sugars found in fruit and other sweet foods. (III) When we are babies, our bodies make a special enzyme called lactase that allows us to digest the lactose in our mother’s milk, but after we are weaned in early childhood, for many people this stops. (IV) Without lactase, we cannot properly digest the lactose in milk. (V) As a result, if an adult drinks a lot of milk they may experience flatulence, painful cramps and even diarrhoea.

(I) The Venice Film Festival has launched three of Hollywood’s most thoughtful space-travel movies recently, with last year’s First Man following Arrival and Gravity.
