What is the function of the Venus Flytrap?
Lures the prey into the mouth of the Venus Flytrap by a sweet scent that attracts them, and when the fly lands, the mouth closes in a rapid action, and digests the fly/insect.
What is the Biologically Closed Electrical Circuit in the Venus Flytrap?
The rapid closing of the upper leaf of the Venus flytrap is one of the fastest in the plant kingdom. The electrical stimulus between a midrib and a lobe closes the Venus flytrap upper leaf without mechanical stimulation of trigger hairs.
Why does a Venus Flytrap have spikes?

Give an example of when a plant might move?
A Venus flytrap closes its trap when prey touches its sensory hairs, demonstrating a form of movement in response to stimuli.
What does a Venus Flytrap do with the fly it eats?
A Venus Flytrap's jaw like "flower" closes once it catches prey. The insect or fly will act similar to a stomach and digest the fly or other insect prey to supply the plant with nutrients. The process takes roughly ten days.
