Question

Boojho is confused. If the pitcher plant is green and carries out photosynthesis, then why does it feed on insects?

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark as brainliest

Explanation:

The insectivorous plants grow in soil which do not contain sufficient nitrogen mineral. These plants (e.g. pitcher plant) are green and carry out photosynthesis to obtain a part of the food required by them. But they do not get the nitrogen from the soil in which they grow. So, insectivorous or carnivorous plants feed on insects to obtain the nitrogen needed for their growth.

Answer 2

Answer:

One of the main ingredients for growth of a plant is nitrogen.

Plants like pitcher plants grow in soil which is poor in nitrogen. These plants use photosynthesis to obtain a part of the nutrition they need. These insectivorous or carnivorous plants obtain nitrogen by consuming insects.
