The Venus fly trap has specialized leaves with many fine hairs. These leaves look and smell like food to flies; so, they land to investigate. When they do, they brush the fine hairs, letting the plant know that an insect is there. There is a fast change in turgor pressure in special cells at the hinge of the leaf, which causes the leaf to shut. The fly is then trapped. The plant then releases enzymes that will breakdown the fly. These breakdown products are absorbed into the plant and used for growth.
