i’m currently translating a german page for a foundation into english. its a website with informations about wild plants and cultivated plants.

the text often explains that a plant is not native to this region but it kind of assimilated to the local climate and it occurs in the wild now. it is not considered invasive, the german word used “eingebührgert” which directly translates to neutralized/nationalized, it also means immigrants getting the citizenship of another country.

is there a word or an eloquent way to describe this. a plant getting a new citizenship so to say lol

Hi, I'm a first year A-Level Biology student, so please don't beat me up if this question is stupid haha!

Today in lesson we learnt about Cohesion-Tension theory, and a section of that was about the proof for said theory. One point mentioned was that the Xylem diameter decreases when temperature rises, so the tree trunk shrinks with it. This of course explains why the hotter the country, the thinner the trunk -- usually?

The Madagascarn trees have extremely thick trunks despite being in an extremely hot environment, and while their leaves are very small I'm not convinced this explains why their Xylem is, presumably, so thick.

This doesn't seem evolutionarily beneficial at all. Can someone explain this? Thanks!

So basically, whenever I see something like somebody breaking a bone or a video of a surgery in a med show for example, I can feel a weird ache and numbness in the same area that I’m watching this person get hurt in, what’s the explanation behind this?

like 5 minutes ago when I was scrolling through twitter and saw some guy break his leg, my leg in the same shin area started to feel “weird”, this always happens.

I’m curious how genetically different are modern humans (e.g. pygmies from the Congo vs Polynesians in Samoa), and how does that compare to the genetic difference between Neanderthals and modern humans? If Neanderthals were alive today, would we just lump them into “modern humans”?

My first thought is that inbreeding would be required, right? Like your parents would need to be already related to each other?

What is the max % genetic material you could ostensibly share with someone that wasn’t your identical twin?

This is a serious question. I have two plants and I am curious if they are aware of each other's presence.

why have we evolved to have teeth so susceptible to decay? tooth decay leads to so many problems and disease, like heart disease. but still us and many other animals have problems with it. why? is there a reason they are built this way instead of a more resistant material?

Just wondering

Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this question. I’ve not done anything with biology in 12 years, have no idea where to find this information myself, and a burning desire to find out

Thank you in advance for any answers I’m lucky enough to receive! :)

It seems like for me exercising or intense movement cures laziness/sleepiness, but why?

It makes more sense that getting extra sleep would give you more energy but it actually makes it worse

I know it goes down as you get older, and that even when your really old you still have some but I want to know how far it could go down. I know that old people can get really set in their ways because of this but if we ever create an anti aging drug would it eventually go away completely after an additional century or two of life?

I’m relearning biology through the Campbell Biology textbook and they said “Trace life back far enough, and we reach the early prokaryotes that inhabited Earth over 3.5 billion years ago” which made me assume prokaryotes are the first living organisms and they evolved into eukaryotes. Now I’m just learning it again and know about natural selection so I have to wonder in what environment made prokaryotes evolve into eukaryotes and why? Also how did Eukaryotes cells evolve into whales and humans? I know these are complicated questions for me to ask considering I’m only on chapter one lol and I understand natural selection and how certain organisms traits in a population are more favorable for survival and reproduction in a certain environment than other organisms in that same population so I just wonder what about the environment made eukaryotic organisms? What “traits” evolved into eukaryotic organisms?
