Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Dionaea muscipula
Concept:

Different carnivorous plants use entirely different mechanical structures to trap prey.

Formula:

N/A

Solution:

  • The description of a "bilobed leaf with a midrib and a row of long stiff bristles (teeth) along the margins" perfectly describes the active snap-trap mechanism.
  • This specific morphology belongs to the Venus flytrap, scientifically known as Dionaea muscipula.


Why other options are incorrect:

Drosera (sundew) uses sticky mucilage tentacles. Sarracenia and Nepenthes are pitcher plants that use deep, fluid-filled tubular leaves as passive pitfall traps.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
