Do coffee beans, cocoa beans and cocain all come from the same plant?

Question

Are they related? and if so, how.

thanks

Answer 1

No.

Cocaine comes from the Coca plant.

Cocoa comes from the Cocoa Tree.

Coffee comes from the Coffee plant.

There is no close relation to any of these plants.

I don't know what the other person is talking about, but none of these plants even share the same Order, let alone Genus.

They are about as close as a Lemon is to a Watermelon.  In fact, they are all the same Class, but that is all.

Answer 2

Three different plants, three different things, and all three are processed differently

Answer 3

No, they all are produced on different plant forms. They all require labor intensive harvest and preparation prior to consumption (except for coca leaves).

Sometime that is child labor. They are all tropical in origin. All are to some degree psychoactive.

Edit; oh yeah, the coffee and cocoa crops are grown on trees, I believe that coca is grown on a shrub form.

And as one answer noted, they are way distant connected evolutionarily. They are all flowering plants. Coffee is from Africa and Asia, while Coca is South American, Cocoa is likely Amazonian. Very different distributions. To confuse you further, all things are related at the level of diversity among life; we are all related to all else alive through the determination to live.

Answer 4

Yes it does why do you ask if this for class work or somthing like that? ;]

Answer 5

no they want.

Answer 6

Nope

Answer 7

coffee is not at all related but the other 2 are distant  very distantly related thru the same plant genus.

Answer 8

they are not related it any immediate manor, as they all come from different plants, however I suppose it is quite possible that the plants are quite close to each other on the evolutionary ladder. If you don't that's possible, just look at how different monkeys and people are, but monkeys are still our closest genetic relatives.

Answer 9

You're kidding right? cocaine comes from the coca plant...as in coca cola....cocoa pod grows on a tree and coffee beans from a bush
