Question
Chapter 23.5, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The purpose of two control solutions.
Concept introduction:
Carnivorous plants have the mechanism to trap insects and are adapted to digest the protein matter contained in insects. They feature a deep cavity filled with liquid, insects such as flies are attracted to this cavity, often by color and by the nectar within.
