Strangler figs are plants that attach themselves to trees for their growth and support. They absorb nutrition from the host tree

and cause it to struggle to obtain sunlight and nutrients. Orchids are also plants that attach themselves to tropical trees. However, orchids don’t harm the host. Orchids obtain sunlight and moisture from their surroundings. What can you conclude from this situation?

Strangler figs are plants that attach themselves to trees for their growth and support. They absorb nutrition from the host tree and cause it to struggle to obtain sunlight and nutrients. This indicates that Strangler figs is a parasite to the trees.

Orchids are also plants that attach themselves to tropical trees. However, orchids don’t harm the host. Orchids obtain sunlight and moisture from their surroundings. This indicates that orchids are in a commensalist relationship with the trees.  

Both Strangler figs and orchids exhibit symbiotic relationship of two different kinds, namely, parasitism and commensalism.

Answer:

  • Orchids are commensal in nature.
  • Strangler figs are parasitic in nature.

Explanation:

Most orchid species grow on tree trunks and branches, and their roots even spread invasively. This leads people to think that tree-growing orchids (called epiphytes) are parasites, but in reality they are not. They only live on the tree, but do not affect it. That is why we can say that orchids are commensal in nature, unlike strangling figs.

Strangler is a parasite that simply uses its "host" plant as a support. As the hanging roots and branches of the strangling fig spread, the fig overtakes the host and kills it by turning off the light and stealing the nutrient soil and soil the host plant used. The strangling fig becomes a large tropical shade tree with good resilience to tropical storms.

</span>
<span><span>These muscles that are not striated are very smooth to the sight which is why they are also called Smooth muscles.</span> Involuntary muscles are not striated. Even among the striated muscles that are voluntary, the heart which is also a muscle, is involuntary.
On the other hand the striated muscles, which are voluntary are highly fibrous and their primary function is to move the body voluntarily, and producing heat as a result of this muscle action. </span>

How do simple and complex sugars compare in their effect on your glycemic index?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The glycemic index allows you to compare the ability of foods to increase blood sugar (glucose) levels. In general, simple carbohydrates have a medium to high glycemic index. In the case of complex carbohydrates, this varies.

Explanation:

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure that provides information on how quickly blood sugar levels rise after eating a certain food. Low glycemic index foods are those that have a low content of sugars or simple carbohydrates and that help regulate blood glucose levels, the consumption of foods with a low glycemic index has been proposed as a prevention and / or management factor of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus and some types of cancer. Complex carbohydrates are made up of larger, more complex molecules and are found primarily in the form of starch and fiber. Foods high in fat or fiber are digested more slowly, so they also cause a slower rise in blood sugar. A food with a high GI raises blood sugar faster than foods with a medium or low GI. The GI is higher when foods do not contain fiber and they are easily digested, since they reach the bloodstream quickly, it is also higher if there is sugar or if cooking destroys part of the fiber and favors the digestion of food.
