Does a Venus flytrap make or obtain foods?
A Venus flytrap is a plant and can make most of its own food. However it lives in very nutrient (in terms of nitrogen compounds) poor environment and therefore obtains these chemicals by trapping insects.
Do venus flytrap make their own food?
No, they have to catch flies in their traps to retrieve much needed minerals and nutrients that their boggy habitat does not have to offer.
Why does the Venus Flytrap eat animals?
Venus Flytraps eat flies and insects because their environment resulted in the need for nutrients contained in them. They adapted to that environment and developed the traps for catching flies.
How do venus-flytrap and pitcher plant get there energy?
The pitcher plant lacks nitrogen. In order to get nitrogen it catches the insect & digest its protein in an acid solution. The plant can then absorb the nitrogen compounds it needs to make its own compounds.
Is a Venus Flytrap a heterotroph or autotroph?
It is an autotroph. It doesn't need to eat flies to survive. I had a venus fly trap and never gave it flies and it lived just fine with photosynthesis. Heterotrophs need to eat others to live.
Do Venus Flytraps produce their own food?
A Venus Flytrap makes its own food by photosynthesis. To make that food, it must trap and digest insects and absorb the nutrients that are missing from the soil it grows in. That means it is both a producer and a consumer.

Are there any Flowering plants that does not make own food?
Plants create their own energy through photosynthesis and are able to absorb nutrients from the soil. Plants, such as the Venus Flytrap, seem to "eat," but this is due to the low amount of nutrients that they are able to absorb from the soil they live in.
Why do you say that plants are food makers?
With the process of photosynthesis, most plants are able to synthesize their own food from carbon dioxide, sunlight, water and minerals in the soil. They do not consume organic food. Some primitive bacteria are also able to make their own food. Such organisms are called autotrophs, and are mentioned in the theme song of The Big Bang Theory. Certain other plants such as Venus Flytrap and pitcher plants actually eat insects.
