What are some adaptations of venus flytraps?

Answer 1

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 Mechanism

• The 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 Hairs

• Venus 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 Teeth

• The egdes of a Venus fly-trap have teeth and look fingerlike. The teeth lace together when an insect is trapped by the plant.

Petiole

• The 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.
