________________________________________________________________________________________________

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot manufacture its own food by carbon fixation and therefore derives its intake of nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are secondary and tertiary consumers. However, some plants are partially heterotrophic and are called as insectivores. They have various means of capturing insects so as to supplement their diet with nitrogen derived from insects, as they live in nitrogen deficient soil. The examples include pitcher plant (Nepenthes), Venus fly trap, bladderwort and sundew plant (Drosera).
