PLANT CONDUCTION. “The immediate and rapid snapping shut of the trap is a perfect demonstration of a sensory-motor system that involves neither nerves nor muscles. It has been known for some time that the mechanism underlying the closure of the trap involves the generation of very fast electrical depolarizations in the form of action potentials by the cells of the trigger hairs which lead to the rapid closure of the trap.” (Venus Fly Trap).
