B) Positive ions will enter the Venus flytrap sensory cells.
C) The cytoplasm of the Venus flytrap sensory cells will become more negative.
D) A and B
E) A and C

Accepted Answer

When sensory hairs in a Venus flytrap are stimulated, the sensory cells become depolarized due to the influx of positive ions, such as calcium ions, into the cells. This depolarization is a key part of the mechanism that triggers the trap to close.
