Question

Describe the similarities between a carnivorous plant and a typical autotrophic plant.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Some similarities between carnivorous and autotrophic plants are:

• Carnivorous plants and autotrophic plants both catalyze photosynthesis reactions. Carnivorous plants grow in nitrogen-deficient soils, so it is necessary for them to feed on insects. These plants also carry out photosynthesis to synthesize food for themselves.
• Both types of plants require sunlight for their survival.
• Both carnivorous and autotrophic plants use the products obtained from photosynthesis to synthesize their organic compounds.
