If a Venus flytrap were treated with a drug that inhibited the H⁺-ATPase,which of the following would likely happen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The H⁺-ATPase is responsible for generating a gradient of hydrogen ions in the cells of the Venus flytrap. This gradient is used to power the closing of the flytraps when triggered by the presence of prey. If the H⁺-ATPase is inhibited by a drug, this gradient cannot be maintained and the flytrap would not be able to close its flytraps in response to prey.
