Question

Why the pitcher plant cannot perform photosynthesis,and it is green also?

Answer 1

The pitcher plant is carnivorous and feeds on insects to obtain nutrients such as nitrogen. This is because these plants grow on nitrogen-poor soils. This plant is green and does perform photosynthesis.

Pitcher plants usually grow in areas deficient in nitrogen. Nitrogen is an important component required by plants. These plants are green and make their food by photosynthesis but to meet their nitrogen needs, they feed on insects. Hence, they are also referred to as partial parasites.
