Question

Insectivorous plants are adapted to soils

• A. Deficient in nitrogenous compounds
• B. Deficient in water
• C. Rich in water
• D. Deficient in trace elements

Answer 1

The correct option is A Deficient in nitrogenous compounds

Insectivorous plants can trap and digest insects and other small animals. They do this to obtain nutrients, primarily the vital nitrogen that they need to grow. They do not absorb nitrogen compounds from the soil, and therefore can grow in nitrogen deficient soil.
