Plants deeper: carnivorous plants that count, slip and suck, sentence 14

Bladderworts have tiny underwater bladders that pump water out, so the pressure inside is low; when a water flea touches the trigger hairs, the trapdoor opens and sucks it in within about a thousandth of a second.

Who acts: Bladderworts, tiny underwater bladders, pressure, water flea, trapdoor · What happens: have, pump out, be, touch, open, suck in · To what, where: tiny underwater bladders, water, trigger hairs, trapdoor
