make a list of different types of heterotrophic plants and explain them
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Heterotropic plants are also known as Carnivorous plants .
Examples are :
- Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be "true" pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves.
2.The Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina.[3] It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called "trigger hairs" or "sensitive hairs") on their inner surfaces.
EXPLANATION:
The list of heterotrophic plants are as follows, the heterotrophic plants are plants that do not have chlorophyll, which is the make pigment required for photosynthesis and hence they depend upon other plants for their food.
- Cuscuta and Orobanche – They are plants that develop haustoria roots and suck food.
- Nepenthes, Drosera, Dionaea – They feed on insects for their food.
- Lichens – They contain fungus which are heterotrophic whereas algae give them food.
