Solution

The correct option is B X: Tomato plant; Y: Mushroom; Z: Pitcher plant

X is the plant which can synthesise its own food by photosynthesis. Therefore, all autotrophic plants can fall under this category. For eg., rose plant, tomato plant etc.

Y feeds on dead and decaying matter. This means it is a saprotrophic plant. For eg., mushroom.

Z feeds on insects to fulfil their nitrogen requirement. Hence, it is an insectivorous plant. For eg., pitcher plant, Sundews, venus flytrap etc.

Q. Case: Neena was writing a project report on modes of nutrition in different organisms. Heterotrophic organisms display three modes of nutrition i.e., saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic. In the holozoic mode of nutrition, a study on the digestive system of different animals showed that the length of the food pipe or oesophagus in different animals are different. The study showed that herbivores have a longer small intestine as compared to carnivores.
