Q#1
- Carnivorous plants decoy insects by sweet scent or color.
- Not expecting threats insects sit on the plant. This catches them using mechanical traps or sticky substances. 
- Then, the plant produces digestive enzymes that break down proteins, fats and sugars which make up the body of the victims for simple compounds which plant can absorb.
Q#2. Carnivorous plants grow in mineral-poor soil, raise substances necessary for life from the bodies of trapped animals. They hunt animals, so that the surface on which they grow, no nutrients they need.
Q#3.Plants by digesting insects provide each large dose of nitrates are lacking in the soil.
Q#4.<span>When a pitcher plant is grown in nitrogen rich soil it grows tall. Insects are it's food source so if it doesn't get any food, it will starve. </span>

When the ATP synthase molecules are open, the hydrogen ions move out of the thylakoid. How does the cell use the kinetic energy
morpeh [17]

The synthesis of ATP is based on energy conversion, via conformational changes of the subunits.

A proton gradient on either side of the membrane into which the ATP synthases are inserted is necessary for their operation, which implies that the synthesis of ATP can not be done independently of a membrane. Within the mitochondrial inner membrane, it is the respiratory chain that provides the pH gradient by injecting protons into the intermembrane space during the transfer of electrons from one complex to another. At the level of the thylakoid membrane, it is the photosynthetic chain that injects protons into the lumen.
