Answers
Explanation:
Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients (but not energy) from trapping and consuming animalsor protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants have adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs. Charles Darwin wrote Insectivorous Plants, the first well-known treatise on carnivorous plants, in 1875
Explanation:
The insectivorous habit develops in the plants due to the deficiency of nitrogen because these plants grow in nitrogen-deficient soil usually in swamps. Some of the common examples of insectivorous plants are Nepenthes (pitcher plants), Utricularia (bladderwort), Drosera (Sundew), Dionaea (Venus Fly trap). Sundew plant is Drosera rotundifolla. Its leaf surface is always sticky due to secretory activity of smaller glands on end of tentacles, which release proteolytic enzymes.
