Question

Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for
growth. Plants that grow in soil which is deficient in
nitrogen, like drosera (sundew), Venus flytrap, pitcher
plant, etc. fulfill their need for nitrogen by consuming
insects. Adaptations are seen in these plants which
serve to attract insects and hold them captive.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. However, carnivorous plants generate energy from photosynthesis. Carnivorous plants have adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs. Charles Darwin wrote Insectivorous Plants, the first well-known treatise on carnivorous plants, in 1875. Carnivorous plants can be found on all continents except Antarctica, as well as many Pacific islands.
