4.28 billion years ago, non-living matter on Earth, such as organic molecules such as amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids
In a specific situation, through a series of chemical reactions and energy conversions, the original cellular structure is gradually formed.
It is also this series of changes that have given the power of the originally "lifeless" life on earth
These primitive cells are able to sustain their own growth and reproduction by ingesting external nutrients.
At the beginning, the earth was not beautiful and the temperature was suitable. Rather, it is a harsh environment with high temperatures, lack of oxygen, and full of harmful gases
The first life was to find its own way to flourish under difficult circumstances
Life has evolved in three modes, animals, plants, and microorganisms
Animals are a multicellular group of organic organisms
Microorganisms usually refer to those organisms that are tiny, simple in structure, and even invisible to the naked eye
Whereas, plants are multicellular organisms that are capable of photosynthesis
But some plants have jumped out of the mode of absorbing nutrients through photosynthesis, and the mode of survival is closer to the mode of animals in our eyes.
This is a carnivorous plant, and carnivorous animals are generally synonymous with ferocious animals in our minds.
What people didn't expect was that some plants that were harmless to humans and animals at their feet also ate meat to feed their stomachs
Fundamentally, these carnivores evolved because they mostly grew in nutrient-poor areas, such as swamps, wetlands, and acidic soil environments.
Due to the lack of essential nutrients in the soil, they have had to develop unique survival strategies – predation for key elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
Common carnivores include pitcher plants, flytraps, felt mosses, yellow civet algae, and plantains.
Carnivorous plants hunt in different ways, even if they have a carnivorous way to absorb nutrients
However, they are still rooted in the land or swamps, and cannot move to hunt for food, so they have to wait for the rabbits.
Nepenthes grows in tropical rainforests and hunts to open deformed leaves filled with digestive juices, releasing an enticing aroma that attracts insects.
Once the insect is attracted and falls into the cage, the leaves close so that it cannot escape
Venus flytraps also rely on this pattern for hunting
However, carnivorous plants are not invincible.
Some insects have evolved strategies against carnivorous plants and are even able to identify traps and avoid predation.
Life evolves and develops through constant adaptation to changes in the environment and genetic variation
Thus forming the rich and colorful world of life that we have today
