Answer 1

Answer:

The bladder, when "set", is under negative pressure in relation to its environment so that when the trapdoor is mechanically triggered, the prey, along with the water surrounding it, is sucked into the bladder.

Bladderwort, (genus Utricularia), genus of carnivorous plants in the family Lentibulariaceae (order Lamiales). The bladderwort genus contains 220 widely distributed species of plants characterized by small hollow sacs that actively capture and digest tiny animals such as insect larvae, aquatic worms, and water fleas.
