Answer 2

Sundew plants trap insects by both a and b. (Option c)

• Sundew plants are plants belonging to the carnivorous species.
• These plants have mucilaginous glands secreting a gluey textured thick substance called mucilage.
• The mucilage of sundew is referred to as Conine.
• The hairs on the leaves of this plant are sticky because of this sticky secretion.
• The tentacles on their leaves protrude outwards and once an insect comes in contact with the mucilage, it gets stuck.
• The tentacles coil inwards trapping and suffocating the insect.
• These types of plants grow in soils with very less minerals and nutrition.
• This is why they trap insects and feed on them to satisfy their nutrient requirement.
