The diagram shows how small and large Venus Flytrap species handle small prey to optimize their use of digestive enzymes Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates how two types of Venus Flytrap plants, one with a small

and the other with a large

, capture and digest their prey in order to make efficient use of digestive enzymes. In the first process, which involves the small

quickly closes around the prey. Once the insect is trapped, the plant releases special enzymes that help to break it down. After digestion, the nutrients are absorbed, completing the process. The second sequence shows how a larger

works. Similar to the first case, the prey activates the trigger hairs.
