OceanOne and Venus Flytrap Concepts

The video discusses the retrieval of a vase from the sunken ship La Lune by the humanoid robot OceanOne, highlighting its design and capabilities. It then shifts focus to the Venus flytrap, exploring its evolutionary traits and how it uses jasmonic acid to digest insects, showcasing an example of exaptation.

What was the name of the French King's flagship that sank in 1664?

• La Lune

• La Mer

• La Soleil

• La Etoile

What is the primary advantage of using robots like OceanOne for deep-sea exploration?

• They can stay underwater indefinitely.

• They are cheaper than human divers.

• They can communicate with marine life.

• They are faster than submarines.

What feature of OceanOne helps researchers understand the weight of objects?

• Thermal feedback

• Haptic feedback

• Visual feedback

• Audio feedback

Who controlled OceanOne during its maiden voyage?

What did the genetic study reveal about the Venus flytrap's trap structure?

• It is a modified stem.

• It is a modified leaf-root hybrid.

• It is a modified flower.

• It is a new organ.

What hormone is involved in the Venus flytrap's response to insect capture?
