Question

. Why do some plants feed on insects? How does a pitcher plant catch a insect


​

Answer 1

Answer:

because they grow in soil which is usually thin and is also poor in nutrient.

 Some pitcher plants contain mutualistic insect larvae, which feed on trapped prey, and whose excreta the plant absorbs.

Answer 2

• Some plants eat insects because they don't get enough of nitrogen from the soil and to regulate the amount of nitrogen they eat insects. These plants are called Insectivorus plants.

• Pitcher plants have a pitcher-like shape and the mouth is covered by a leaf. These plants have an attractive smell which attracts insects. When the insects land on the mouth of the plant, it gets trapped and cannot come out.
