What are the physical characteristics of a venus fly trap?

Answer 1

A venus fly trap is adapted to its environment by living in very hot conditions and it lives on flies and other small insects! It has very quick reactions which is how it catches its food so quickly!
it has large waxy leaves, to trap water and produce a poison so that it can open up to vibrant colours and attract flies and insects to get nutrients

Answer 2

The Venus Flytrap responds to touch, when trigger like hairs on the plant have been touched twice in succession, the trap snaps shut, thus allowing the plant to feed on the tasty morsel it just captured. Yummy!!! Gotta go eat licks lips

Answer 3

The Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, is a good example of a green plant that has made an unusual adaptation to obtain the nutrient that it needs to be able to grow. The leaves of Venus' Flytrap open wide and have short, stiff hairs called trigger or sensitive hairs. When anything touches these hairs enough to bend them, the two lobes of the leaves snap shut, trapping whatever is inside.

Answer 4

The Venus Flytrap has tiny hairs on its inner surfaces. When an insect or arachnid touches one of those hairs, the trap will be triggered if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first, or if the same hair is touched twice in quick succession. (This is to eliminate the possibility of wasting energy for no nutritional gain.) The lobes of the trap with then shut in approximately 0.1 seconds. The stiff hairlike protrusions (or cilia) mesh together, preventing large prey from escaping. The holes in this mesh-work allow smaller prey to escape, most likely because the benefit that would be obtained from the prey would be less than the cost of digesting them. If said prey escapes, the trap with reopen within 12 hours; but if the prey moves around in the trap, it will tighten and digestion will begin much quicker.

Answer 5

Venus fly traps have green lobed leaves with trigger hairs on the inner surfaces. They have a reddish-purple inside color and grow up to 5-6 inches tall. The plant also has small white flowers that bloom in the spring.
