How the leaves on the pine tree and the cactus are alike and different?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

both of them can with stand excess weather..

for an instance , a cactus can stand the heat of the sun in a desert because it stores its food inside its body below its fats..naturally water can't escape..it folded its leaves to form needles to have a smaller stomata..

on the other hand, pine trees are somewhat similar but have different region..it can stand to much cold...it doesn't need photosynthesis to make food because of the less sunlight it can have..

hope it can help..

Who made the pine tree shilling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As early as 1650, the colony of Massachusetts Bay was a commercial success. But an inadequate supply of money put its future development in jeopardy. England was not inclined to send gold and silver coins to the colonies, for they were in short supply in the mother country.

Taking matters into their own hands, Boston authorities allowed two settlers, John Hull and Robert Sanderson, to set up a mint in the capital in 1652. The two were soon striking silver coinage - shillings, sixpences, and threepences. Nearly all of the new coins bore the same date: 1652.

This was the origin of America's most famous colonial coin, the pine tree shilling. The name comes from the tree found on the obverse. It may symbolize one of the Bay Colony's prime exports, pine trees for ships' masts. The Pine Tree was also a symbol of the native Americans, which colonists adopted as Massachusetts prospered. The Pine Tree symbol is also used on the Bunker Hill Flag, puportedly flown by colonists in the Battle of Bunker Hill in Charlestown, as the American Revolution got underway. Massachusetts coinage not only circulated within that colony, but was generally accepted throughout the Northeast, becoming a monetary standard in its own right.

Why the 1652 date? Some believe that it was intended to commemorate the founding of the Massachusetts mint, which did occur in 1652. Others believe the choice was a reflection of larger political events. Coinage was a prerogative of the King. In theory, these colonists had no right to strike their own coins, no matter how great their need.

But in 1652, there was no king. King Charles had been beheaded three years previously, and England was a republic. The people in Massachusetts may have cleverly decided to put that date on their coinage so that they could deny any illegality when and if the monarchy were reestablished. The new king, James,was irritated that the colonists were minting their own money, but was calmed by an aide when he was told that the tree on the coin was the Royal Oak, a symbol of the English monarchy.

This "1652" shilling is likely to have been minted around 1670. In 1682, the Hull/Sanderson mint closed after closer royal scrutiny of the operation.

How would uncontrolled cutting of pine trees impact the environment?

Asked by Wiki User

If too many pine trees are cut down in forest ecosystems, there will be no place for animals that live in the forest to live. We also need the oxygen trees give off, in order to breathe.

Is the female pine cone a sporophyte?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A pine tree is generally a Sporophyte - a multicellular, diploid, spore-producing organism. However, the created spores are haploid, and thus begin the gametophyte phase, in which the microspores (pollen) and megaspores (female receptors), will combine back into a gamete, and begin the sporophyte stage again.

So, the pine tree is mostly sporophyte, but has very small gametophyte parts that create gametes. They're very small, but they're there.

Are pine trees always green?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pine needles have a shape which makes them less vulnerable to the cold than the flat leaves of the maple tree or other trees of that type. That is their ecological niche, to keep their leaves and continue to perform photosynthesis all year long.

Pine trees do shed their needles regularly, though - just walk past a pine tree and check out the ground beneath.

Why aren't there much pine trees in grasslands?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is in the question. Fire must be harmful to them. Pine trees, and other conifers have high levels of substances called turpines in their leaves. This serves two maior purposes, to make them taste foul (few animals graze on pine leaves) and to act as a kind of anti-freeze, so the leaves work all year round, even in subarctic conditions.

However, turpines are highly flammable, so pine saplings will rarely survive a grassland fire. The saplings don't survive on the grassland and the trees don't encroach.

Can yo cut the top off of a pine tree without killing it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the individual tree and the amount removed, yes. This frequently happens as a result of mechanical damage (wind/snow, etc) or an insect or other creature feeding on it. Afterwards, the tree may stop growing upward (especially in older trees or with severe damage), or one or more branches under the area may take over as the tip of the tree and grow upward. The area is vulnerable to rot and other diseases, though, so death is possible.
