Vedclass · Answer

(D) Plants typically exhibit an autotrophic mode of nutrition because they contain the chlorophyll pigment,which allows them to synthesize their own food through the process of photosynthesis.However,certain plants,known as insectivorous plants,are partially heterotrophic.These plants grow in nitrogen-deficient soils and have evolved specialized mechanisms to capture insects to supplement their diet with essential nitrogenous nutrients.Examples of such plants include the pitcher plant $(Nepenthes)$,Venus fly trap,bladderwort,and sundew.
