Answer 1

Answer:

Pitcher plant traps insects because it

b) grows in soils which lack in nitrogen.

Answer 2

Answer:

ANSWER IS (B)

REASON:

Pitcher plants like all plants, have green leaves with chlorophyll. Their main source of nutrition is the glucose produced through photosynthesis. All organisms need a source of nitrogen to produce amino acids.

However, these plants don’t have a mechanism to absorb atmospheric as most plants do. They rely on their insectivorous diet to acquire the same. Thus, the pitcher plant feeds on insects.
