Question

In what ways are carnivorous plants stronger and more resilient than other plants? In what ways are they weaker? Answer both parts of the question and support your answer with quotes from the text. Explain what your quotes show.

Answer 1

1. In what ways are carnivorous plants stronger and more resilient than other plants?  

• Despite the fact that they have to get nutrients from their preys and not only from the sun, carnivorous flowers have developed a natural instinct to hunt, this is that they have to attract their food to eat.  

2. In what ways are they weaker?  

• Unlike other plants, carnivorous plants have to get nutrients from their prey. This is because they live in places where the soil have no nutrients. Another weakness is that their population is only of about 600 species, unlike the other plants that are over a quarter of a million. These plants have difficulties to adapt to different environments, they cannot adapt to rich soil, and they have to hunt to get the rest of the nutrients they need to live.  

Answer 2

they are stronger in a way that they are more of a predator than other plants because they can eat animals instead of being always eaten by animals

if they are in a place where they do not get enough sunlight for photosynthesis it may take them longer to gain food than other plants who are in more sun
