Question

34. a) Pitcher plant is green and carries out photosynthesis. Why do they feed on insects?
b)Define Photosynthesis and write the equation of photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Explanation:

(a) : Pitcher plant contains chlorophyll, hence it can do photosynthesis and prepare its own food. Pitcher plant grows in swamps, bogs areas where the soil is deficient in nitrogen mineral. So it traps the insect and utilize their proteins die to nitrogen deficiency. Therefore its an insectivorous plant.

(b) : The photosynthesis equation is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen. ... In most plants, water is supplied from the roots, with the leaves collecting carbon dioxide via the stomata and sunlight captured by the chloroplasts in the leaves.
