Answer:

C) polarity

Explanation:

The polar nature of water molecules allows it to dissolve like molecules, such molecules are also polar.

  • In water molecules hydrogen bonds provides a special dipole - dipole attraction.
  • Here, the hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine).
  • This leads to a charge separation in which the hydrogen atom has net positive charge and the electronegative one has negative charge.
  • This makes the molecule of water polar.
  • By this property water easily attracts oppositely charged portions of another substance and then pull them into solution.

This property of water is polarity of water.

There exist some insectivorous plants like the Pitcher plant, Venus flytrap plant, etc that are considered to be partially heterotrophic.

<h3>What are insectivorous plants? </h3>

The insectivorous plant which is sometimes also referred to as a carnivorous plant is a plant that has a special adaptation for the capturing and digesting of insects.

They can also digest some other animals by the means of unique structures like ingenious pitfalls and traps. Carnivorous nature in plants is an independent evolution and is present about six times throughout the several families and orders of plants.

There are more than 600 known species of carnivorous plants and they make for a very diverse group. In some cases, they have some more characteristics than their carnivorous nature.
