Question

how do some plants feed on insects? How does a Pitcher plant catch insects?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)Some Plants feed on insects because they grows in a type of soil which is unable to supply Nitrogen(N). ... The liquid has digestive enzymes (secreted by the plant) that will dissolve the prey gradually. In some species, the liquid in the pitcher contains bacteria that act on the prey to decompose the latter.

2)Foraging, flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted to the cavity formed by the cupped leaf, often by visual lures such as anthocyanin pigments, and nectar bribes. The rim of the pitcher(peristome) is slippery, when moistened by condensation or nectar, causing insects to fall into the trap.
