There are several plants from nature that are suitable for the aquarium, including Java fern, Anubias, Amazon sword, and Vallisneria. These plants are popular choices for aquariums because they are relatively easy to care for and can thrive in the aquatic environment. Additionally, they provide natural filtration, oxygenation, and hiding places for fish, making them beneficial for the overall health of the aquarium ecosystem. It's important to research the specific needs of each plant and ensure they are compatible with the fish and other inhabitants of the aquarium.

What is the history of thermal power plants?
Thermal power plants have been in existence since the late 19th century when the first coal-fired power plant was built in the United States. Over time, the technology has evolved to include different types of fuel sources such as natural gas, oil, and biomass. These power plants generate electricity by converting heat energy into electrical energy through the use of steam turbines. Despite advancements in renewable energy sources, thermal power plants continue to play a significant role in meeting the world's energy demands.

Plants, People, and Culture : The Science of Ethnobotany
Is it possible that plants have shaped the very trajectory of human cultures?Using riveting stories of fieldwork in remote villages, two of the world’s leading ethnobotanists argue that our past and our future are deeply intertwined with plants.Creating massive sea craft from plants, indigenous shipwrights spurred the navigation of the world’s oceans.Today, indigenous agricultural innovations continue to feed, clothe, and heal the world’s population.One out of four prescription drugs, for example, were discovered from plants used by traditional healers.Objects as common as baskets for winnowing or wooden boxes to store feathers were ornamented with traditional designs demonstrating the human ability to understand our environment and to perceive the cosmos.Throughout the world, the human body has been used as the ultimate canvas for plant-based adornment as well as indelible design using tattoo inks.Plants also garnered religious significance, both as offerings to the gods and as a doorway into the other world.Indigenous claims that plants themselves are sacred is leading to a startling reformulation of conservation.The authors argue that conservation goals can best be achieved by learning from, rather than opposing, indigenous peoples and their beliefs.KEY FEATURES• An engrossing narrative that invites the reader to personally engage with the relationship between plants, people, and culture• Full-color illustrations throughout—including many original photographs captured by the authors during fieldwork• New to this edition—"Plants That Harm," a chapter that examines the dangers of poisonous plants and the promise that their study holds for novel treatments for some of our most serious diseases, including Alzheimer’s and substance addiction• Additional readings at the end of each chapter to encourage further exploration• Boxed features on selected topics that offer further insight• Provocative questions to facilitate group discussionDesigned for the college classroom as well as for lay readers, this update of Plants, People, and Culture entices the reader with firsthand stories of fieldwork, spectacular illustrations, and a deep respect for both indigenous peoples and the earth’s natural heritage.

Why do plants grow in nature under the worst conditions alone, but when humans grow plants, they need something?
Plants in nature have evolved to adapt and survive in harsh conditions through natural selection. They have developed mechanisms to obtain water, nutrients, and sunlight from their environment. However, when humans grow plants, they are often placed in artificial environments such as pots or gardens, where the natural resources may be limited. Therefore, humans need to provide plants with the necessary water, nutrients, and sunlight to ensure their growth and survival. Additionally, in nature, plants may also have access to a diverse range of microorganisms and beneficial insects that help support their growth, which may not be present in human-controlled environments.

Are sun plants the same as C4 plants?
No, sun plants and C4 plants are not the same. Sun plants are those that require full sunlight for optimal growth, while C4 plants are a specific type of plant that has adapted to hot and dry conditions by using a specialized photosynthetic pathway. This pathway allows C4 plants to efficiently capture and use carbon dioxide, making them more efficient in hot and dry environments compared to other types of plants. While some sun plants may also be C4 plants, not all sun plants are C4 plants and vice versa.
