mexican running plant

[Draconi]

Has anyone know anything about the mexican running plant?

[Mister Jon]

No but i'll look into it

[Mister Jon]

I found somethng in my big book of plantas, there is a small record in it: there are no pictures and not much information but it does exist!

[Draconi]

Cool, does anyone else know anything?

I've heard there is a cactus in mexico that has a very weak root, so it is windy the wind makes it move: it gathers the water it need that way. It gives you the impressin that it can walk. Maybe this mexican running plants it that cactus. Only a guess, however

my teacher said me that mexican running bean is used to reveal the mechanism of enzymes 's role. I think you mean "mexican jumnping bean".
use this keyword on google, you can see why it jump, because there is a worm (larva) live in. and when trying to get out, they make the bean jump
In a high bottle (cardboard), the bean can't jump out but when you make the bottle lower, beans can jump out. enzyme make lower the "activate or needed energy" so metabolism can proceed easily
hope I can help you ( my English is a big problem)

I read about it in a book, I can't realy remember too much about it but it said something about useing chemical energy to move.

[mothorc]

do you need something else?
I think you can find more in enzyme biochemistry (in "share biology information" topic, you can find some free protein book , dont care about Rusian title)

It would be great if someone could get me a photo of it

[mothorc]

Did you see your beans on http://www.google.com/image
My picture about enzyme that I want to show you is in my book that I can't post here
Hope successful

The thing im looking for is an actual plant, not a bean.

Could this plant be related to the mysterious wandering rocks of Death Valley, California?
