Explain how various leaves have evolved to capture insects.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. A variety of plants have evolved structures that enable them to capture insects. The sundew has sticky trichomes that can trap insects as well as secrete digestive enzymes. The venus fly trap has hinged leaves that snap shut and interlock when an insect triggers the trichomes. Pitcher plants have leaves that form a funnel to direct insects into a pool of digestive enzymes.
