They increased their levels of an enzyme(酶), which is known to prevent planteating animals.“None of the plants were ever actually attacked,” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and

27、unning superstars? The secret weapon is our sweat. We have 24 million sweat glands(腺) all over our body, which means we can run and cool ourselves at the same time.
