What is the answer of the marked question
Dear student
Pitcher plant has both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
Autotrophs are those which prepare their own food with help of carbon dioxide and water. They trap sunlight with help of green pigment called Chlorophyll. Their mode of nutrition is known as Autotrophic mode of nutrition.
Heterotroph are those which depend on other organisms for their food. Their mode of nutrition is called Heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
Pitcher plant's are Autotrophic because it is a green plant and has chlorophyll in it, but because of it's nitrogen deficient soil it absorbs nitrogen from insects which makes it heterotrophic.
Regards
