    Venus flytraps are carnivorous plants that feed on insects which get trapped in their unique leaf like structures.

    When you put your finger in these traps, the plant will think of it as some insect and uses its energy to take hold of your finger.

    However, these traps cannot harm your finger nor will they have any affect on your body. The only thing that happens is – the flytrap plant will end up losing its energy. Gaining their energy back is really hard for them. So, do not play with those plants just for fun.

    The aroid family is divided into two groups: those that like sun and those that do not. The philodendrons are in the no-sun group, so they don't appreciate direct sunlight.

    The aroid family is divided into two groups: those that like sun and those that do not. The philodendrons are in the no–sun group, so they don‘t appreciate direct sunlight. In fact, their leaves will burn if exposed to it for too long.

    They prefer shady spots with filtered light. Are you growing a variegated philodendron? They can be grown outdoors in partial shade, but they will need protection from the hot afternoon sun. If possible, provide some overhead shelter like an arbor of some sort so that the plant will get sunlight and still have protection from the heat.

    Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation and a bicarbonate anion. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. Reference: Wikipedia

    Goosebumps are the bumps that can be seen on a person‘s skin when they are cold or scared.

    The bumps are caused by tiny muscles called arrector pili, which contract and make the skin rise.

    These muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for things like heart rate and digestion.

    The autonomic nervous system also controls the goosebumps response. The human body has two types of hair: vellus and terminal.

    Vellus hairs are the fine, short hairs that cover most of the body. Terminal hairs are the thicker, longer hairs that grow on the head, eyebrows, and pubic area.

    Goosebumps are most common on the arms, but they can also happen on the legs, chest, and back.

    Humans cannot digest cellulose because they don’t have the enzyme needed to break it down in their stomach. Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate that is found in the cell walls of plants and it is used as a building material for plant cells. Cellulose is not digestible by humans, but other animals such as cows, sheep, termites, and some species of beetles can digest it.
    The main benefit of cellulose has to do with reducing the amount of food they need to eat. This is because, since it has no calories or nutrients, there’s no need to burn energy converting it into something that can be absorbed by the body.

    Ozone hole refers to a decrease in the thickness of the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The ozone hole is not technically a “hole” where no ozone is present but is actually a region of exceptionally depleted ozone in the stratosphere over the Antarctic that happens at the beginning of Southern Hemisphere spring (August–October).
