A frog that eats an insect is a first-order carnivore. The red fox is a second-order carnivore when it eats the frog. Carnivores are often larger and stronger than the herbivores they prey upon, or they hunt in groups that allow them to overpower a large herbivore. Chloroplasts are the tiny, spherical bodies containing chlorophyll. They are the centre of photosynthesis in a plant.
Conifers are cone-bearing trees or bushes.
They are also known as evergreens, needle-leafed trees or softwood trees. The leaves of conifers are very narrow and long or small and scale-like with straight veins. The leaves remain on the tree for two or more years, with the exception of the tarmack which loses its leaves each fall. Many tropical trees are also evergreens. Both kinds of cones occur on the same tree except in juniper and yews where the male and female cones are on separate trees.
