Where does the food go after the Venus fly trap eats it?

Answer 1

The fly dies because of the acids the venus fly trap has,then after a while the venus fly trap opens and the fly falls out if you put a stone or a peice of paper in to the fly trap,after 12 hours it opens and the paper or thing that went in will fall out

Answer 2

After a Venus flytrap catches and consumes prey, the plant's digestive enzymes break down the prey's nutrients. Once the nutrients are absorbed, the plant's trap will reopen and the indigestible parts will be left behind.

Answer 3

The answer is yes. AVenus fly trap can digest. Though it does not use the same procedure as you and I. Humans and Animals have a digestive tract that breaks down the food and converts it to a usable energy source. But a Venus fly trap does not have these organs. Instead, when it traps an insect or other bug, digestive fluids are sent into the "mouth" of the plant. These fluids then break down the body of the prey, removing and separating all usable materials. Next, the usable materials are stored for use as an energy source.

Answer 4

A venus fly trap catches attention from an insect with a good smell, when an fly lands on one of the leafs, it touches little hairs on surface of the leaf and the trap closes. Then the juice released by the plant dissolves the fly. When the fly is dissolved the trap opens again. Waiting for the next victim

Answer 5

There is some kind of bile/acid like liquid inside a Venus flytrap. They slowly cover the fly in the acid, and the fly begins to disintegrate. When it gets really mushy and liquid like, the Venus fly trapust kind of lets it flow down its throat.

Answer 6

When an insect brushes two of the trigger hairs on the venus flytrap, the two parts of the trap snap shut and seal the victim inside. Then the plant baths it in digestive juices and extracts the nutrients it needs from the victim's body.

A venus flytrap is able to live in soil that is low in nitrogen because it has perfected this way of gaining nitrogen from these unlucky visitors.

Answer 7

The Venus Flytrap has trigger hairs on both sides of its mouth. If a fly touches one of the trigger hairs it will set off a 20 second timer. If the fly touches another trigger hair while the 20 second timer is on the mouth will close!

Answer 8

Carnivorous plants digest bugs, but not for energy. Most of the plants live in acidic bogs, and get very little minerals. Therefore, the capture and digest bugs, giving them the minerals they need. If a Venus Flytrap eats a poisonous bug, it cannot be harmed. Some bugs, like catterpillars, can eat eat their way through the plant's trap, though, so be careful what you feed to your flytrap.

Answer 9

Answer 10
