There are a few palnts that supplement their inorganic diet with organic compounds.These organic compounds are obtained by trapping and digesting insects and small animals.In this way they behave like haterotrophs (i.e. they obtain their food from other organisms).

What is the correlation between nutrition in insectivorous plants plants and their habitat?

Insectivorous plants, such as sundews and pitcher plants, obtain nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from insects they capture. The availability of insects in their habitat directly impacts the nutrition and growth of insectivorous plants. Habitats with higher insect populations typically support healthier insectivorous plants compared to habitats with fewer insects.


What is the role of autotrophs and heterotrophs in the cycling of nitrogen through the environment?

Autotrophs get the nitrogen from the soil by the nitrogen fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen to nitrate salts used up by plants while heterotrophs gets them when they consume the autotrophs, making them have some of the nitrates in palnts. Autotrophs and heterotrophs then die and are decomposed by bacteria to recycle the nitrogen in air . Some of those bacteria converts the nitrates into form of nitrogen recycling them into the atmosphere.
