Which of the following is insectivorous?
(A) Mushroom (B) Cuscuta
(C) Mucor (D) Nepenthes
Answers
Nepenthes or pitcher plant represents insectivorous plant...!
Answer:
The correct answer is (D) Nepenthes.
Explanation:
The correct answer is (D) Nepenthes.
Insectivorous plants are those plants that have adapted to grow in nutrient-poor environments by developing the ability to capture and digest insects or other small organisms.
Out of the options given, only Nepenthes is an insectivorous plant, commonly known as the pitcher plant. It has a unique leaf structure that forms a tube-like structure, called a pitcher, that contains a liquid that attracts and traps insects. The insects then drown in the liquid and are digested by the plant to obtain necessary nutrients.
Mushroom, Cuscuta, and Mucor are not insectivorous plants. Mushroom is a type of fungus that obtains nutrients through decomposing dead organic matter. Cuscuta, also known as dodder, is a parasitic plant that feeds on the nutrients of the host plant it attaches to. Mucor is another type of fungus that is involved in the decay of dead plant material.
