Why are carnivorous plants dependent on insects for their nutritional requirements? Mention any 3 types of trapping mechanisms.

$\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

Carnivorous plants derive some of most of the nutrients (but not energy) from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. They have adapted to grow in places where the soil is poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcroppings.

Carnivorous plants have six basic trapping mechanisms (with representative genera or species):

1. Adhesive: Eg- Drosera

2. Pitfall: Eg- Pitcher plant

3. Snap: Eg- Venus flytrap
