A cafeína é uma substância presente em mais de 60 espécies de plantas espalhadas por vários grupos botânicos. Isso significa que seu surgimento se deu de forma independente ao longo da história da evolução. Mas por que tantas plantas diferentes gastam energia produzindo esse composto? No vídeo de hoje, Atila Iamarino nos conta (à base de um bom cafezinho) qual função a cafeína desempenha nos seres vivos, especialmente nos herbívoros e polinizadores, desde seu papel letal em altas doses ao estímulo das funções de memorização e aprendizagem em doses menores.
