Answer 1

$\bold{Venus\:flytrap}$

• It is one of the most astonishing plants in the world.

• A relative of the sundews (Drosera), this remarkable species belongs to the Sundew Family (Droseraceae).
• Its native habitat in all the world is a narrow strip of coastal land approximately 16 km wide and 160 km long in North Carolina and adjacent South Carolina.
• Its generic name is a modification of Dione, the Greek name for Venus.
• When triggered by an insect, the leaf blade folds closed along its midrib bringing the two halves together.
• Three bristle-like hairs near the middle of the upper side of the leaf blade are sensitive to touch and cause the blade to snap shut.
• Touching one hair will not trigger the closing mechanism. Only when one hair is touched twice or two hairs are touched in succession will the leaf blade fold closed.
• This strategy generally prevents an inanimate object (such as pebbles or small sticks) from activating the trap.
• A fringe of stiff hairs around the edge of the blade become interlocked (intermeshed) when the blade folds closed, thus trapping the insect like bars in a jail cell.
• The action of this remarkable mechanism involves a rapid loss of turgor pressure within the leaf cells on the upper side of the leaf.
• Digestive enzymes from glands on the leaf surface break down the proteins of the imprisoned victim, and the plant gets a supplemental source of nitrogen.
