Answer:
Carnivorous plants are called insectivorous plants. For example Venus flytrap, Drosera capensis, and Darlingtonia california.
Explanation:
- Insectivore is also termed entomophage.
- Insectivorous plants obtain their nutrients from trapping and consuming protozoans or animals.
- The energy they gain from the animals is not the major part of the energy of a plant, they get most of their energy through photosynthesis.
- They consume the animals that are trapped adventitiously.
- Highly adapted features will include pitfalls, hair-trigger snaps, bladder traps, entangling furriness, sticky surfaces, and a lobster pot trap mechanism.
- These plants are mostly found in nitrogen-deficient soils.
- Nitrogen is very essential for the growth and development of plants.
- They trap wasps and small other insects to obtain nitrogen from their bodies.
Hence, insectivorous plants are carnivorous plants that feed on animals and protozoans.
Examples: butterworts, the waterwheel plant, bladderworts, sundews etc.
