Venus flytrap is an insectivorous plant in which the organ specialised to trap insects is
Correct answer: A. Leaves
- A. Leaves
- B. Buds
- C. Roots
- D. Branches
Explanation
The correct answer is Leaves. The Venus flytrap is known for its specialized leaves that act as traps. These leaves snap shut when trigger hairs are stimulated by the presence of an insect, allowing the plant to trap and digest its prey for nutrients. The other options are incorrect as follows: Buds are involved in the growth of new plant parts; Roots are involved in nutrient uptake and are not used for trapping; Branches support other structures but do not trap insects.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
