LaGuardia VIP (Log... NYC Housing
Insectivorous (insect-eating) plants are among the most fascinating members of the plant
kingdom. They combine the characteristics of a plant with those of an animal. These plants
have highly specialized leaves that capture and digest insects. The proteins of the digested
insect supply the plant with nitrogen, which is usually unavailable in the poor soils in which
these plants grow.
The Venus's-flytrap of North and South Carolina is an example of an insectivorous plant. The
leaves of this plant are hinged along the middle and swing upward and inward. An insect
landing on the leaf triggers a sensitive motor mechanism that closes the leaf blades. The
captured insect is then slowly digested by enzymes secreted by cells in the leaves.
According to the passage, what is the probable effect of growing insectivorous plants in
richer soils?
O A. Plants are unable to take larger insects.
O B. Plants bloom in more frequent cycles.
O C. Plants are able to obtain nitrogen from sources other than insects.
OD. Plants grow to a much larger size.
OE. Plants grow with deeper roots.
