Question

Description acceptable. Members of the genus Roridula exhibit a borderline form of this process that involves symbiosis with species of assassin bugs. This process was first detailed in an 1875 book by Charles Darwin describing years of experiments studying activity in the Drosera genus. Organisms in the genuses Utricularia and Dionaea (10[1])have evolved a thigmonastic response to aid this process. (10[1])The cost–benefit model (10[1])posits that modifications for this process explain why it is only observed in sunny, moist, and nutrient (10[1])poor areas. (10[4])A (10[1])method (10[2])for performing this process used by (10[4])Nepenthes jamban (10[2])involves a combination (10[1])of sticky mucilage (10[6]-5[1])and (10[1])a pool of enzymes. (10[4])“Lobster-pot” (10[1])and “pitfall” traps are (10[1])used by some species (10[1])exhibiting this behavior. (10[3])For 10 points, (10[1])name this method of deriving nutrients (10[2])used by (10[1])the Venus (10[1])flytrap. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[6])

ANSWER: plant carnivory [accept carnivore or carnivorous plants; accept insectivore or word forms; accept descriptions of plants eating meat or insects or animals; prompt on eating or digestion; prompt on tropism or movement by asking “what behavior are they engaging in by moving?”; prompt on trapping or attracting insects or animals until “traps” is read] (The Charles Darwin book is Insectivorous Plants.)
