Venus flytrap

Venus flytrap

Venus fly traps attract flies by the nectar on the leaves.

The nectar attracts the flies because flies need nectar. The nectar is all around the leaves so they can

actually go inside of the trap.

When they get really attracted to the nectar the trigger hairs come next.

If the fly triggers one hair a timer has started. If the fly touches two hairs under twenty seconds the

trap with shut close. This will happen because when the fly touches the trigger hairs it will send a electric
charge to the cells surrounded with water.

When the second trigger happens under twenty seconds the electric charge will over power the cells,
causing the water to shoot out from the trap side to the outside of the leave. When the water changes
locations the fly trap will snap shut into a concave shape. They will snap shut because of the water
changing locations. The next step of the proces is the dissolving of the fly.

The venus fly trap then dissolves the fly over ten days. The venus flytrap needs ten days or so because
it absorbs the weak part first then moves on to the complex parts. The cause of this is by releasing an
arange of digestive enzymes.

Venus fly traps use a complex tool to trap animals for nutrition. Other plants like pitcher plants have a
much easier way of trapping animals to eat for the nutrition. They attract flies by the nectar bribes and
by the visual lures.
