Topic 15.3 - Venus Fly Trap

What is the diet of a Venus fly trap?

• Insects

• Vegetables

• Sunlight

• Rocks

How does a Venus fly trap capture its prey?

• It releases a paralyzing gas to immobilize them

• It snaps shut when triggered by tiny hairs on the inner surface of its leaves

• It lures them in with sweet nectar

• It uses its long tentacles to grab them

What are the key characteristics of Venus fly trap biology?

• Carnivorous nature, simple trapping mechanism, preference for sandy soil

• Carnivorous nature, unique trapping mechanism, preference for acidic soil

• Omnivorous nature, complex trapping mechanism, preference for neutral soil

• Herbivorous nature, passive trapping mechanism, preference for alkaline soil

What is the role of chemical communication in plants like the Venus fly trap (Nectar)?

• Providing structural support for the plant

• Assisting in the process of photosynthesis

• Regulating the plant's temperature

• Attracting prey and triggering the closing of the trap

What is auxin and how does it affect plant growth?

• Auxin is a type of soil that plants need to grow

• Auxin is a type of insect that affects plant growth

• Auxin is a type of fertilizer that speeds up plant growth

• Auxin is a plant hormone that regulates growth and development in plants.

What is gibberellin and how does it influence plant development?

• Gibberellin is a plant hormone that regulates various developmental processes such as seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering.

• Gibberellin is a type of insect that feeds on plant leaves

• Gibberellin is a type of soil that plants need for growth

• Gibberellin is a type of weather condition that affects plant growth

How does a Venus fly trap distinguish between prey and non-prey stimuli?

• By tasting the stimuli

• By hearing the stimuli

• By smelling the stimuli

• Movement of trigger hairs on its leaves

What are the different stages of the Venus fly trap's trapping process?

• Hair trigger, closure, and digestion

• Seeding, growth, and flowering

• Opening, closing, and wilting

• Photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration

How do auxin and gibberellin interact to regulate plant growth?

• Promoting cell elongation, cell division, and overall plant development

• Inducing wilting and leaf yellowing

• Inhibiting cell elongation and cell division

• Causing stunted growth and reduced plant development

What are the environmental conditions preferred by the Venus fly trap for optimal growth?

• Acidic soil and high humidity

• Neutral soil and low humidity

• Alkaline soil and moderate humidity

• Sandy soil and dry conditions
