Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carnivorous pitcher plants gain nitrogen by trapping and digesting insects, which is an unusual way for a plant to obtain nutrients. This adaptation is particularly beneficial in bog habitats where the low-nutrient soil makes it difficult for other plants to thrive. While bog water may be low in oxygen and acidic, these are not reasons why the carnivorous pitcher plant is successful in these habitats.
