EuroKom Carnivorous Plant

[Dimbo]

Hallo Leute,
ich dachte mit diesem Thema wäre ich nicht so einseitig wie andere Mitschüler, die nur über ihre Fußballstars berichten. Außerdem habe ich eine Fleischfressende Pflanze aus dem Baumarkt besorgt, mit der ich den Mechanismus vorzeigen wollte.
Doch da gibt es einen Haken.
Auf Wikipedia verstehe ich leider sogut wie keinen Satz und andere seriöse Internetseiten mit Informationen finde ich auch nicht ( Falls ihr irgendetwas finden solltet, bitte ich um den Link ).
Nungut ich wollte erstmal euren Rat und euch bitten ob ihr mir den ersten Abschnitt als quasi "Starthilfe" in ein "einfacheres" Englisch umschreiben könntet:

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients (but not energy) from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants appear adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcroppings. Charles Darwin wrote the first well-known treatise on carnivorous plants in 1875.

Man kann natürlich solche Wörter wie arthropods weglassen, da diese eine nicht allzu große Rolle spielen und ich in der Prüfung alles erklären müsste. Deswegen auch etwas einfacheres Englisch.

Danke im Vorraus.
MfG Dimbo

Hi Dimbo ,
ich habe mal eben geguckt und Du hast den Text einfach aus Wikipedia abgeschrieben. Das ist an sich OK, wenn Du bereit wärest, den Text in Deiner Prüfung so aufzusagen. Aber um ihn Dir von uns in etwas leichter verdauliches Englisch "übersetzen" zu lassen, müßtest Du zumindest einen Vorschlag machen, den wir dann korrigieren könnten. Also versuch's doch mal, ja?

Good luck says

Hallo Duckduck,
hier mein eigener Text:

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals and typically insects. The plants prefer growing up in places where the ground is poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, like acidic bogs. (Rock outcroppings könnte ich schwer auf Englisch erklären)
Charles Darwin wrote the first well-known sentences about carnivorous plants in 1875.

Nächster Abschnitt:

True carnivory is thought to have evolved independently six times in five different orders of flowering plants,[2][3] and these are now represented by more than a dozen genera. These include about 630 species that attract and trap prey, produce digestive enzymes, and absorb the resulting available nutrients.[4] Additionally, over 300 protocarnivorous plant species in several genera show some but not all these characteristics.

Wie soll ich sowas den Prüfern vortragen?

Vielleicht so:
Scientists differentiate between the "true carnivory" of which there are five different orders of flowering plants and which have more than a dozen genera. All in all about 630 species belong to the "true carnivory". The important characteristics are:
1. they attract and trap prey
2. they produce digestive substances
3. they absorb the resulting available nutrients.

However, there are also the so-called "protocarnivorous plants" (more than 300) which show some but not all of these characteristics.

Was jetzt bei Wikipedia kommt, nämlich die Beschreibung usw. scheint mir sowieso interessanter und eigentlich auch ganz gut verständlich!!

Hallo Leute,

nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten und Starthilfe von DuckDuck habe ich es jetzt geschafft meinen gesamten EuroKom Text zu schreiben.
Die Informationen sind aus Deutschen Büchern und die Namen habe ich aus Wikipedia.
Ich bitte allerdings darum dass ihr nochmals nachseht ob irgendwelche zusammenhänge besser wären oder alles mit der Grammatik stimmt.

Good morning, today I wanted to talk about carnivorous plants:
I begin with the general information’s about these fascinating plants and the difference about passive and active carnivory. After that I tell you the basic mechanisms and there specifics.

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals and typically insects. The plants are able to grow in places where the ground is poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, like acidic bogs or rocky surfaces.
Charles Darwin wrote the first well-known report about carnivorous plants in 1875.

Scientists differentiate between the "true carnivory", also known as the active carnivory, of which there are five different orders of flowering plants. All in all about 630 species belong to the "true carnivory". The important characteristics are:
1. they attract and trap prey
2. They produce digestive substances
3. They absorb the resulting available nutrients.

However, there are also the so-called "protocarnivorous plants" (more than 300), also known as the passive carnivory plants which show some but not all of these characteristics. For example most of them do not have the ability to absorb nutrients of their prey directly.

Four basic trapping mechanisms are found in carnivorous plants.

The Pitfall traps:
The leaves of the Pitfall traps form a hole in which the prey is falling.
Because of the smooth wall and the small area it`s nearly impossible for the prey to survive.

The Flypaper traps:
They work with a sticky fluid that leaks on the leaves.
The insect is attracted by the sweet-smelling fluid and sticks to it. Because of his trials to free itself, it gets stuck with more and more body parts on the sticky secretions.

Snap traps:
The catching method of these plants is the best known, but also the rarelyest.(Seltenste) ?!
It is the rapid closing of two leaf halves, which is released by small feeling hairs inside the leaf. Each of the two halves has 3 to 9 of these hairs. If one or several different hairs even touched within a short time, the two leaf halves fold together with its prey inside. The stimulus control protects from a close due rain and heavy wind.

Bladder traps:
The principle of Bladder traps only works under water or under the ground. The plant which uses this method is making a negative pressure inside the bladder or the sack, like a vacuum. If a prey is near this sack the plant uses this vacuum to suck the water with the prey inside it.

Danke im Vorraus

Na, das hast Du ja prima hingekriegt. Ich hoffe, Du schaffst Deine Prüfung gut!

Danke vielmals!
Die Prüfung ist in einer Woche, bis dahin müsste der Text sitzen.
Ich hoffe ich kann dir mal behilflich sein
