Chapter 38.1, Problem 6MC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The adaptations that protect against herbivory and predation.
Concept Introduction:
Energy is an essential requirement for all the human beings. They can consume energy by eating food, animals, living or dead. Natural selection causes the plant defense against herbivores.

This is an example of deception in communication. This only works because carnivorous plants are rare and commonly this attraction to food is rewarded by most flowering plants. Identify a cost to an insect species if they evolved a behavioral avoidance of carnivorous plant characteristics? The cost to insects would be they would overpopulate the niche and go extinct. If the insects evolved to avoid a potential food source they would reduce their fitness. O If the insects did not go to the carnivorous plants, they would die out. O There is no cost to insects if they evolve to avoid carnivorous plant characteristics.
