22、We all know that plants are delicious food for insects(昆虫). But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.

Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant’s(龙珠果的) leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can’t eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.

Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How? Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it’s already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. So, by giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.

A．It doesn’t have any leaves.

B．Its leaves are full of spikes.

C．It is too small for insects to eat.

D．Insects like to eat spikes of the passion plant.
