There are plants which are known as insectivorous plants. They are able to perform
photosynthesis yet they are dependent on insects for their nutrition, this happens because
Answers
Answer:
The insectivorous plants grow in soil which do not contain sufficient nitrogen mineral. These plants (e.g. pitcher plant) are green and carry out photosynthesis to obtain a part of the food required by them. ... So, insectivorous or carnivorous plants feed on insects to obtain the nitrogen needed for their growth.
Explanation:
Finally a great Question
Insectivorous plants are partial heterotroph. Generally insectivorous plant are partially dependent on insect to derive nitrogen and insectivorous plant also derive energy from photosynthesis
Dependency of Insectivorous plant on insect is due to their habitat
means
Insectivorous plant are found in area where nitrogen content in soil is very less and Nitrogen is essential elements for growth of plant so insectivorous plant digest insect for getting nitrogen from insect body
I hope u understand
Thanks for asking this beautiful Question
