Which of the following is an example of carnivorous plant?
Answer Details
Bladderwort is an example of a carnivorous plant. Bladderwort has tiny traps that it uses to capture and digest small aquatic organisms like protozoa, crustaceans, and even small fish. The plant has small bladders on its leaves that act as a vacuum trap. When an organism touches the trigger hairs on the bladders, they are sucked in and the trapdoor snaps shut. The bladder then uses digestive enzymes to break down the prey and absorb the nutrients.
