Venus Fly Trap Research Paper
Dionaea Muscipula
A carnivorous plant is uncommon. Rather than just soaking in the sunrays and photosynthesizing, it lures preys in by secreting sweet nectar. This intriguing eukaryotic plant has a unique anatomical function, out of the ordinarily expected geographical location, and is something that can be grown. The venus fly trap was studied by Carolus Linnaeus and later by Charles Darwin. To figure out how this plant survived or simply operated with its’ sensory hairs was fascinating to them. Though one may think this plant is found in tropical places, its’ location is in North Carolina. It can be found about 50 miles out of Wilmington and sometimes in the northern portion of South Carolina. This fact makes it possible to be grown in your own home or backyard. There are various types and …show more content…
With much research one is capable of growing a venus fly trap in their own home. Although this plant has been studies since the 17th or 18th century, most of it still remains a mystery. As botanists continue to study the function of this plant, mysteries turn into facts.
