Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Fact

•Insectivorous plants trap insects because they grow in soil which is usually thin and is also poor in nutrients, so they eat insects to fulfil their nutrient requirement.

(b) Fact

•The ability to ingest or absorb food is relatively common in nature; only the Kingdom Plantae is completely devoid of organisms that do not ingest or absorb their food, as they make their food internally through the process of photosynthesis.
