Question

why do pitcher plant and venus fly trap need to feed on insects

Answer 1

Answer:

Hii

Most plants get their nitrogen from soil in their habitats. But the Venus fly trap lives in bogs and grasslands where soils contain VERY, VERY little nitrogen. So these plants have evolved a way to acquire the nitrogen they need by capturing insects, killing them, and absorbing the nitrogen contained in insect bodies

Answer 2

Answer:

Hii friend good afternoon ❤️❤️❤️

Here is your answer ✌️✌️

Explanation:

the Venus fly trap lives in bogs and grasslands where soils contain VERY, VERY little nitrogen.

So these plants have evolved a way to acquire the nitrogen they need by capturing insects, killing them, and absorbing the nitrogen contained in insect bodies.

These plants (e.g. pitcher plant) are green and carry out photosynthesis to obtain a part of the food required by them.

But they do not get the nitrogen from the soil in which they grow.

So, insectivorous or carnivorous plants feed on insects to obtain the nitrogen needed for their growth.
