(1 pt) which of the following is a behavioral adaptation of the venus fly trap?
a. leaves that close when touched
b. leaves that perform photosynthesis
c. roots that the plant uses to obtain water
d. flowers to attract pollinators

a. leaves that close when touched.

Explanation:

Venus flytrap is an insectivorous plant. Its scientific name is Dionaea muscipula. It has a specialised system by which it traps and kills insects. Venus flytrap is an autotroph (makes its own food through photosynthesis), but it absorbs nitrogen and phosphorous from insects because the soil in which it grows lack these elements. It has steel-trap shaped leaves which secrete sweet-smelling nectar and when insects land on its leaves for the nectar insects get trapped.  

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.

well the answer is 2!
