The cape sundew, Drosera capensis, catch their prey by using adhesive trichomes. After the prey is stuck, mech induce electrical potentials that cause a fast bending followed by a slower movement of the whole leaf to fold u Darwin described this leaf-bending, which brings the prey into contact with digestive glands, as an "outer stoma Some researchers studying this behavior discover that it is not elicited simply by touching the trichomes, but onl body fluids of crushed fruitflies. The movement is associated with an increase in jasmonic acid, and in fact, can b phytohormones without prey. The researchers suggest this is a chemonastic response (as opposed to a thigmotr response).
Which of the following statements, if true, would not fit with this example?
Multiple Choice
The sundews method of capturing prey is a modification of the wound response.
The triggering of initial trichome movement likely involves turgor pressure.
