Answer:
a)IT HAS AN INSECTIVOROUS HABIT BECAUSE THE TYPE OF SOIL ON WHICH IT LIVES IS DEFICIENT IN NITRATES(NITROGEN) AND THUS TO GET NITROGEN IT FEEDS ON INSECTS.
b)Cactus prepare their food through the process of photosynthesis, like any other plant. Since, Cactus have their leaves reduced to spines, therefore photosynthesis takes place through the stem. The stems are green by the presence of Chlorophyll to make food for the plant.
c)Plants are modified to store food when they need to protect their food from the climatic conditions. Storage organs are present in plant that are later modified to store food.Jun 12, 2015
