Answer 1

carnivorous plant

• Venus flytrap

option C is correct

Answer 2

Insectivorous plants catch animals and protozoans and use them as a source of nutrition. Insectivorous plants are sometimes known as entomophage because they devour insects.

Explanation:

• To thrive in a nitrogen-deficient environment, the Venus flytrap develops specific adaptations. The leaves of the Venus flytrap are crucial for trapping insects. Turgor pressure in the leaves aids in leaf bending. It captures insects and digests them for sustenance.
• Venus flytraps, Pitcher plants, Butterworts, Sundews, Bladderworts, and the Waterwheel plant are all insectivorous plants.
• The leaves of the Venus flytrap are open and broad, with small, trigger or sensitive hairs on them. When something brushes against these hairs, the hairs bend, and the leaf bends owing to fast turgor pressure changes in the Dionaea (venus flytrap) leaf, and the two lobes of the leaf snap close, trapping whatever is inside.

Therefore, Option C is the correct option
