| Sažetak | Mesožderne biljke dijele mnoge sličnosti sa drugim biljkama, ali i bitne razlike. Ono što ih povezuje s drugim biljkama jest da i one imaju mogućnost obavljanja fotosinteze, dakle posjeduju listove i klorofil, kao i cvjetove i stabljiku. Međutim, ipak su iznimka biljnog roda. Budući da naseljavaju staništa koja su siromašna nitratima i fosfatima, te im hrana dospjela od fotosinteze nije dovoljna za njihov život, morali su razviti neke osobite mehanizme kojim bi ulovili plijen. Tim mehanizmima, na vrlo lukav način ulove plijen, razgrađuju i apsorbiraju proteini uhvaćenog plijena. Različite vrste su im plijen, a najčešći među njima su kukci. Karnivorne biljke se izgledom jako razlikuju, ono što im je svima zajedničko jest mehanizam razgradnje proteina.
U ovom radu je opisano nekoliko najzanimljivijih rodova (Dionaea, Utricularia, Drosera, Nepenthes, Genlisea, Drosophyllum). Predstavljene su njihove opće karakteristike, stanište, kao i klopke koje ih karakteriziraju. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Carnivorous plants share many similarities with other plants, but also important differences. What connects them with other plants is that they also have the ability to perform photosynthesis, so they have leaves and chlorophyll, as well as flowers and stem. However, they are an exception to the plant genus. Because they inhabit habitats that are poor in nitrates and phosphates, and the food they receive from photosynthesis is not enough for their life, they had to develop some special mechanisms by which to catch prey. By these mechanisms, they catch prey in a very cunning way, break down and absorb the proteins of the captured prey. Different species are their prey, and the most common among them are insects. Carnivorous plants are very different in appearance, what they all have in common is the mechanism of protein breakdown.
This paper describes several of the most interesting genera (Dionaea, Utricularia, Drosera, Nepenthes, Genlisea, Drosophyllum). Their general characteristics, habitat, as well as the traps that characterize them are presented. |
