• Pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant. It feeds on insects and obtains nitrogen from them. It has modified leaves for trapping insects.
• Haustoria are special roots present in parasitic plants. They penetrate the host plant tissue and absorb nutrients for their growth.
• Chlorophyll pigments present in leaves help capture sunlight required duing photosynthesis. Glucose (carbohydrate) and oxygen is produced during this process.
• Leaves are the organs of transpiration. Transpiration is the process of loss of excess water in the form of vapour.
