Do we have plant which do not prepare it own food?
Most plants are autotrophic, meaning that they are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis. All these plants need are photons provided by sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. There are, however, some plants that are heterotrophic; they obtain their food through ways other than photosynthesis. Most of these plants, such as carnivorous plants like the Venus fly trap, are still capable of producing their own food. Parasitic plants are the exceptions. While they do have the chloroplasts needed to perform photosynthesis, they do not have roots, which are used to obtain water and nutrients. One example of a parasitic plant is mistletoe. Mistletoe sends its "suckers" into the vessel of its host's xylem cells, to draw out raw sap. The plant then uses this material to perform photosynthesis as other plants do. While they are still able to prepare their own food, parasitic plants are dependent on other organisms for the raw materials.
Do all green plants makes their own food?
Yes, grass does make it's own food through a process known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows plants to take the energy of the sun and produce sugar which is what plants use as food.
Why cannot other plants survive near carnivorous plants?
Non-carnivorous plants can live near carnivorous one. Carnivorous plants don't eat other plants or anything like that. What you might be referring to is the fact that carnivorous plants tend to grow in certain environments that many other plants couldn't survive in. Specifically, they grow in areas with soils that have very little nutrients. Carnivorous plants can live there because they can get the nutrients they need from their prey rather than from the soil. There are other plants that are adapted to those types of ecosystems is other ways (non-carnivorous ways), and those plants can live alongside carnivorous plants. Most plants can't live in those environments, though.
What do carnivorous plants do to their organisms?
What do carnivorous plants do to their organisms? Carnivorous plants use the dead organism that they eat to use for energy, to grow, and to stabalize their other "heads".
What are carnivorous vegetables?

What enzyme class is a carnivorous plant likely to have that other plants do not?
Protease for catalyzing proteins.
Why do Venus fly trap insects?
Most carnivorous plants originate in soils that are deficient in natural sources of Nitrogen. Carnivorous plants (such as Venus flytraps - Dionea spp.) trap and digest insects to extract the Nitrogen (and other nutrients) from their bodies. All carnivorous plants are intolerant to artificial fertilisers which can kill them if applied.
What other plants are carnivores other than the Venus Flytrap and Pitcher plant?
The Sundew is another carnivorous plant.
Why venus fly trap eating insects?
