Question

Insectivorous plants are green and can prepare their own food, but they feed on insects to obtain nutrients like .

• A. nitrogen
• B. oxygen
• C. carbon dioxide

Answer 1

The correct option is A nitrogen

• Insectivorous plants are green and can prepare their own food.
• However, they grow on nitrogen-deficient soil. So, to fulfill the nutritional deficiency, they feed on insects.
• Since they can prepare their own food and also feed on insects, they are partially autotrophic and partially heterotrophic in nature.
