Find the answers to the “Microsoft Rewards Bing Warpspeed Quiz” for 5-26-2025. Discover how carnivorous plants trap and digest prey in amazing ways.
Question 1: What do Venus flytraps sense to close their trap?
- Light
- Touch
- Smell
Answer: Touch
Fact: Venus flytraps close their trap when they sense touch. When an insect touches the tiny trigger hairs inside the trap, it sends a signal to the plant. If two hairs are touched within 20 seconds, the trap snaps shut. This helps the plant catch its prey. They do not use light or smell to close the trap.
Question 2: Which carnivorous plant uses a slippery rim to trap prey?
- Sundew
- Pitcher plant
- Bladderwort
Answer: Pitcher plant
Fact: The pitcher plant uses a slippery rim to trap its prey. Insects are attracted to the sweet nectar around the rim, but when they step on it, they slip and fall into the deep pitcher. Inside, they can’t escape because the walls are slick and there are tiny hairs pointing down. The plant then digests the trapped insect for nutrients.
Question 3: What do sundews use to trap insects?
- Poisonous spikes
- Sticky tentacles
- Strong jaws
Answer: Sticky tentacles
Fact: Sundews use sticky tentacles on their leaves to trap insects. These tentacles have a glue-like substance that shines and attracts bugs. When an insect lands on the leaf, it gets stuck in the sticky substance. The tentacles slowly curl around the insect to hold it tightly. Then, the plant digests the insect to get nutrients.
