Name the following-
A plant that has both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
1. Autotrophic nutrition: It is a process where an organism prepares its food from simple inorganic materials like water, mineral salts, and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.
2. Heterotrophic nutrition: It is the mode of nutrition where the organism is unable to prepare its food and they depends upon plants or other organisms for food.
3. Pitcher plant is green and performs photosynthesis which makes it autotrophic.
4. Pitcher plant grows in soil that is nitrogen deficient so it eats insects to fulfill its nitrogen requirements which makes it heterotrophic.
5. A plant that has both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition is the pitcher plant.
