Question

A student decided to investigate what kind of bugs a Venus Fly Trap preferred to eat. The student created 3 groups of plants and offered one group ants, another group received spiders, and the other group had beetles. A 4^th group of Venus Fly Traps had whatever bugs came its way normally. The student counted how many of each type was eaten.

Answer 1

This paragraph describes a set of an experiment.

The Venus flytrap gets some of its nutrients from the soil, but to supplement its diet, the plant eats insects and arachnids. Ants, beetles, grasshoppers, flying insects, and spiders are all victims of the flytrap. It can take a Venus flytrap three to five days to digest an organism, and it may go months between meals.
