The correct answer is Option (3)- Venus flytrap
- Phytoplankton: Phytoplankton are microscopic, photosynthetic organisms that float in aquatic environments, such as oceans and lakes. They are not carnivorous but rather produce their own food through photosynthesis.
- Bladderwort: Bladderwort is a genus of carnivorous plants, specifically aquatic plants. It traps and digests small aquatic organisms using small bladder-like structures.
- Venus Flytrap: The Venus flytrap is a flowering plant best known for its carnivorous eating habits. The “trap” is made of two hinged lobes at the end of each leaf. On the inner surfaces of the lobes are hair-like projections called trichomes that cause the lobes to snap shut when prey comes in contact with them. This type of movement is called thigmonasty—a nondirectional plant response to being touched
- Seaweed: Seaweed refers to various species of marine algae. Seaweeds are not carnivorous; they are primarily autotrophic, producing their own food through photosynthesis.
- In summary, only the Venus flytrap is a perennial carnivorous plant known for actively trapping and digesting insects to supplement its nutrient requirements.
