Think about the different purposes of the authors of "Flesh-eating killers: assassin or ally?" and
"Carnivorous plants say 'cheese.'" Write a response
that contrasts the ways in which the authors use the
plant/insect relationship to serve their different
purposes. Use details from both articles to support
your ideas.

In "Flesh-eating killers: assassin or ally?" we are introduced to general concepts about carnivorous plants. The author shows us a biological view of these plants, their nutritional requirements and how they interact with the insect. The author informs us that these plants make photosynthesis, but feel nutrient needs that they prefer to obtain with the absorption of insects either because the soil is low in nutrients, or because the competition for them is very fierce. The author also shows us the ability of this plant to establish symbiotic relationships with some insects, improving their quality of life and asking us "are these plants killers or allies of insects?"

The article "Carnivorous plants say 'cheese" already shows us another approach. The author presents the cannibalistic form of a plant totally different from what we know about carnivorous plants. In this article, we are not aware of commensalist moments between this plant and the insects, showing us that it only establishes a predatory relationship with them. The predatorism is so intense, in this case, that this plant does not even wait for the insect to land on it to be devoured, capturing it still in the air.

we should all just get dogs.
