Which of the following are true? More than one answer may be correct.
Flowers of Rhizanthes infanticida resemble rotting meat in both smell and appearance to attract
their primary pollinator, the blowfly.
Hydnora triceps, a parasitic plant of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, catches small
insects, birds, mammals, and amphibiams in its pitcher shaped flower, high up in the camopy of
the rainforest.
Mistletoe seedlings germinate in the soil as a response to nearby trees, and use viscin covered
roots to slowly climb trees.
Root parasites find hosts through a reciprocal exchange of chemical signals that diffuse through
the soil.
Parasitism has arisen many times during the evolution of plants.
Mistletoes find their hosts by tracking gases emitted by the host and growing toward them.
Parasitism is an ecological relationship between organisms in which one organism (the parasite)
kills the other (the host).
Parasites exhibit a wide range of dependency on host plants, from the hemiparasites, which are
photosynthetic to the holoparasites, which must obtain all nutrients from host plants.
While parasitism in plants represents an interesting scientific subject, parasitic plants have little
impact on human lives.
Movement of nutrients from host to parasite is achieved by two primary mechanisms:
transpiration and an osmotic gradient.
