“In fact, the only organisms known to break it down require energy to do so.”
Plants
Tree of life a mess for plants too?
Here’s Nova’s accidental take on the problem (April 17, 2007)
Yes, some researchers say, plants do talk to each other
” … new research, published in the journal Trends in Plant Science, has revealed that plants not only respond to sound, but they also communicate to each other by making “clicking” sounds.”
Darwinism: Carnivorous plant continues to be smarter than we think
“researchers have now discovered a new, unique method of capturing insects by the pitcher plant Nepenthes gracilis.”
Plants are not people but maybe they hear things
Wallace, Darwin’s banished co-theorist, was right.
Fossils of insects pollinating plants from 100 million years ago
Given that 80% of today’s flowering plants depend on insect pollination, there must have been a good deal of co-evolution and horizontal gene transfer.
“Identical sequences of DNA located at completely different places on multiple plant genomes”
“Although the scientists found identical sequences between plant species, just as they did between animals, they suggested the sequences evolved differently.”
Darwinism at work: It would be photosynthesis except …
We need the lab notes of the scientists who were doing this on the early Earth.
Is this a plant version of the Cambrian explosion?
“All this demonstrates that the ‘oldest forest’ at Gilboa was a lot more ecologically complex than we had suspected … “
Plants’ common ancestor was complex, not simple life form, researchers say
Modern findings look more and more like “creationism” all the time.
Plant evolves a new function? Or was it designed?
One way of putting it: The plant enzyme “was evolved” to do both functions at once.
Captured on film: How plants learn of danger from other plants
It’s been known for some years that plants do this, but capturing it on film is quite a coup.
Every vegan’s nightmare: Those lovely, peacable plants, they don’t really trap and eat worms, do they?
“We may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.”
#5 of 2011 for ID community: Explosive Radiation of Flowering Plants Confirmed.
” … new challenges to Darwin’s theory to explain the origin of flowering plant species over a relatively short geologic time period by incremental transformations.”
Photosynthesis: “Until a few years ago, it seemed a straightforward piece of chemistry”
“This is the first paper showing that coherence affects the probability of transport. “
