About this document
Venus Flytrap: Facts and Adaptations by khalid is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant found in wet boggy areas of North and South Carolina. It catches prey using snap-closure leaves triggered by hairs, digesting trapped insects with enzymes to absorb nutrients, as 95% of its diet comes from insects rather than flies. As an important part of its ecosystem, the Venus flytrap contributes to insect control and nutrient cycling in nitrogen-poor soils by helping maintain insect populations and recycling nutrients through its predatory behavior.
