Question
Chapter 35.5, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The process of attaining nutrients from prey by the carnivorous plants and the primary nutrient that they acquire.
Introduction:
Carnivorous plants as the name suggests are those, which derive their nutrition by killing animals. Their prey includes insects and sometimes even rodents. They attract the prey by their bright colors and nectarines. They adapt to grow in the areas where the soil is poor in terms of nutrients, particularly in nitrogen like acidic bogs and the soil is thin.
