The Corpse Flower is a plant that only flower every few years, often going 10 or more years between blooms! After obtaining information from the resources below, develop an argument that explains the behavioral and structural adaptations of this plant which would affect its probability of survival.

Answer 1

Answer:

This flower called scientifically Amorphophallus titanum has disadvantages in survival because it only flowers approximately every 10 years, a situation that limits its sexual reproduction. However, its particular smell attracts several pollinators that help its dispersion. This plant is currently in danger of extinction due to the loss of habitat and its late flowering does not favor this situation.
