Question

"Pitcher plant performs photosynthesis, but it eats insects also. "Why?

please answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pitcher plant contains chlorophyll; hence it is capable of preparing its own food like green plants. But pitcher plant eats insects because it grows in swamps or bog areas where the soil is deficient in nitrogen mineral. So, just to fulfill its nitrogen requirement, it traps the insects and utilize their proteins.

Answer 2

Answer:

Pitcher plants on the other hand are also called as Carnivorous pants. Absolutely. Pitcher plant is green as it contains chlorophyll and hence it is capable of performing photosynthesis ( a process in which green plants prepare their own food with the help of sunlight) due to which they are also called as Autotrophs.
