It's strong enough to hurt a bug but I don't think it's strong enough to hurt you, those teeth look kind of weak.
Those are called 'triggering hairs' that do exactly what it says on the tin! They 'trigger' any movement that enters the leaf, and cause it to shut like a trap, hence the name, Venus "Flytrap".
An insectivorous plant (Dionaea muscipula) of the coastal plain of the Carolinas, having sensitive, hinged, marginally bristled, two-lobed leaf blades that close and entrap insects.It has traps and has tiny hairs (censors) on the inside of the traps. Flies and bugs are attracted to the scent of them, so when they land on a censor the trap shuts, eats, and then it will digest the fly or bug using special enzymes.The Venus Fly Trap - is a carnivorous plant. Its leaves form two halves of a hinged 'trap'. When an insect crawls over the surface, it trips 'trigger hairs' on the leaf, which snaps shut in a split-second. The insect is then dissolved by digestive enzymes.See the related link for a photograph in Wikipedia.
No! You can't just give shuts!
Because of the distance and that there is no solid surface to land on.
The exact mechanism for this phenomena is still widly unknown. What we do know is that the "mouth" on the plant has little "sensor hairs" that somehow sends a signal that initiates the closing of the trap. The actual closing of the trap is probably a result of a change in turgor pressure within the trap, itself. In other words, the water in the plant is redistributed to fill the trap.
if it shuts down than the cell and nucleus will both 'die'
The touch-me-not (sensitive plant, tickleme or Mimosa pudica) closes its leaves when you touch it because the touch triggers the leaf cells to expel water. The cells lose their rigidity and the leaf droops away from the touch. After a few minutes the leaf returns to normal.
There is no item called "shuts" on Webkinz World.
The electronics shuts off the current to the coil and injectors are usually under pressure so when there is no current in the coil the force of back pressure shuts the injector. -_- max
Its structural adaptationsLeaf Base Venus fly-traps have two leaf parts: a leaf base and a leaf blade. A Venus fly-trap grows out of the ground with its broad and flat leaf base, which carries out photosynthesis.Trapping MechanismThe second leaf part of a Venus fly-trap is its trapping mechanism, also referred to as the trap, leaf-blade or lamina.Ends of leaves are composed of two lobes hinged together that can open and close in order to trap a small insect.Trigger HairsVenus fly-traps usually have several trigger hairs growing on each trap lobe. When an insect lands on a Venus fly-trap and moves around, trigger hairs know that it is live prey that can be trapped and eaten.Venus Fly-trap TeethThe egdes of a Venus fly-trap have teeth and look fingerlike. The teeth lace together when an insect is trapped by the plant.PetioleThe two leaf parts of a Venus fly-trap, the leaf blade and leaf base, are joined together by a small stalk called the petiole.They have many sensitive trigger hairs.The Venus Flytrap attracts insects to it by its bright colour and scent. When an animal triggers 2 of its trigger hairs inside one of its mouths (leaves) the trap shuts tight and the animal/insect is slowly digested over a period of around 10 days.acid of the mouth, sharpe bendable teeth, and green coding.Since the Venus fly trap lives in boggy, wet habitats, they have had to adapt to survive and live there. Venus fly traps have special hairs inside the trap that once touched, trigger the trap to suddenly shut. If the fly inside is caught, enzymes will digest the pray to get much needed vitamins that the bog does not have. The flies think the trap is a flower and fly into it without a second thought.
The flap of skin that shuts off the passage to the lungs is called the epiglottis.
