Question

Insectivorous plants are best adapted to

• A. Water rich soils
• B. Water deficient soils
• C. Trace mineral deficient soils
• D. Nitrogen deficient soils

Answer 1

The correct option is D Nitrogen deficient soils

Carnivorous plants or insectivorous plants are the plants that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants have adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcroppings.
