pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant
all plants need nitrogen
insectivorous plants usually grow in an area which lack nitrogen
insects contain nitrogen
so it traps the insects
pitcher plants can photosynthesis, any green part of a plant can photosynthesis. pitcherplants though cannot photosynthesis enough to survive and have adapted to digest small organosms instead.
Yes, however some species and even some genus are under speculation as to whether they do or do not use their own digestive enzymes in the process of digestion. But for the most part, yes, they are carnivorous. Some may even be able to digest vegetable matter through their traps.
The green colour in plants is due to the presence of chlorophyll which is used to combine water and Carbon dioxide to form sugars, plants use these sugars to supply energy but plants need many trace elements such as magnesium, manganese, potassium etc to make complex plant alkaloids and organic compounds.They usually obtain these minerals directly from the soil but most insectivorous plants grow in waterlogged soil from which the nutrients have been leached away by the water. They have therefore evolved an alternative way of gaining the nutrients that they require.
his favorite color is green
Green, Red, Or Another ColorThe answer is unsure. Many people say that Lil Wayne's favorite color is green and others say it is red. Still others say it is white or purple.
From what i remember, chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that carries out the process of photosynthesis.

No. It has green leaves and therefore needs sunlight for photosynthesis.
Yes, the Pitcher Plant is a carnivorous plant that supplements its nutrient intake by trapping and digesting insects in its pitcher-shaped leaves. While it can photosynthesize to produce some of its own food, it relies on capturing insects to obtain the necessary nutrients that are lacking in its environment.
pitcher plants are grows in soil which does not have much nitrogen in soluble form. they trap insect because they have nitrogen in their bodies.
They are just green. They are not plants. Only plants can do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which chlorophil, sap, and sunlight change into sugars & nutrients for the plant.
Plants that use photosynthesis to get food are green because the chloroplasts in their cells are green
chlorophyll is the green coloring plants use in photosynthesis
Almost all plants use photosynthesis, even some without chlorophyll. But green plants would not be green if they were not using chlorophyll-based photosynthesis.
Blue-green bacteria, also known as cyanobacteria, are like plants because they are capable of photosynthesis, producing energy from sunlight. They both contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. However, blue-green bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, while plants are eukaryotic organisms.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants. It is in an organelle called the chloroplast and is the site of photosynthesis. The thylakoids are found in the chloroplast have a folded membrane system containing the green pigment chlorophyll. This is where energy from sunlight is converted into sugar using carbon dioxide and water.
Yes, the Venus fly-trap plant does have chloroplasts; even though it also eats insects it still produces food the way other green plants do, by photosynthesis.
