Question

The pitcher plant closes its lid when insect enters it.What role does insect plays

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

The pitcher plant closes its lid when insect enters it.

Explanation:

• Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants whose prey-trapping mechanism highlights a wide cavity loaded with liquid acknowledged as a pitfall trap.
• Foraging, flying or creeping insects such as bugs are drawn to the hollow formed by the cupped petal, often by visible lures such as anthocyanin colours, and nectar tips.
• The surfaces of the pitcher are unreliable and may be grooved in such a way to guarantee that the insects cannot ascend out.
• Through a mechanism of digestion, the prey is transformed into a solvent of amino acids, peptides, ammonium, phosphates and urea, from which the plant gets its mineral nourishment (especially phosphorous and nitrogen).
