Concluding Remarks

We think our plant lures prey by UV light inside the traps that prey see, then when they enter the traps, they are stuck by the hairs inside the trap. We also think our plant attracts smaller prey because we noticed one of the traps has a small insect inside already.

Morphological Data

We observed that plant #6 is: -Is a green body with red lining and red veins -It has a small ball on the top of it's shoot -It is shaped tubular (hollow) -There are multiple shoots (4 live shoots) -It's like a green bean pod

Sugar Test

We conducted a sugar test and all three tests came back as negative monosaccharide. This means that our plants liquid doesn't have fructose in it.
