• Physiological or behavioural adaptations are often possible because of certain structural adaptations
• Physiological adaptations of venus fly trap

  Nectar across the brim, digestive enzymes to break down prey, biological timer-electrical impulse to close the leaves
• Structural adaptions of venus fly trap

  Sensory hairs on inside of leaf, hairs on tips of leaf to enclose insect
• Behavioural adaptations of venus fly trap
