Only about one percent of plants have lost what ability, turning them into consumers and even predators, instead of producers?
growth
flowering
rooting
photosynthesis

These other species are consumers, many of them predators. How do plants prey on other organisms? The Venus fly trap in Figure below shows one way this occurs.
