\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Madiron may i try to help? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes please

Madiron:

ok,think it about,thorns would help the plant why?

Madiron:

*think about it*

quasia:

Thorns represent the modification of an axillary shoot system in which the leaves are reduced and die quickly and the stems are heavily sclerified and grow for only a limited time (determinate growth). Thorns appear to protect the plant against herbivores

KynxKatz:

Do u still need help

quasia:

yes

quasia:

yes

Madiron:

ok good,now what do you think poison would do?

quasia:

Plants growing in soils with a high cadmium concentration will start showing symptoms of poisoning after just a few weeks. Some effects of cadmium phytotoxicity include plant stunting (dwarfing and incomplete development of the plant), leaf rolling, chlorosis (the loss of leaf color) and eventually, plant death.

Madiron:

ok those two things you just thought about should help you with your question

TETSXPREME:

r u want me to do it for you?

quasia:

please if u dont mind

TETSXPREME:

Deer, black bears, muskrats and rabbits eat the fruit, stems and leaves. For these animals, poison ivy's eye-catching early-fall color will act as a food marker rather than a poison warning." Human reactions to poison ivy are most common in the summertime but can occur at any time of the year

A self defense like poison or thorns help by the enemy staying back knowing the danger if approaching it. With the enemy not touching it,it can survive
