Question
Transcribed Image Text:Question is based on the following passage.
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?
A. Plants bloom in more frequent cycles.
B. Plants grow to a much larger size.
C. Plants are able to obtain nitrogen from sources
other than insects.
D. Plants grow with deeper roots.
E. Plants are unable to take larger insects.
