Answer 1

The sundew plant lives in nitrogen-poor bogs. It has small tentacles that secrete a sticky, sweet-smelling substance that looks like dew. This adaptation helps the plant attract insects, which get stuck in the dew-like substance. The plant then curls around the insect and suffocates it. The plant uses digestive enzymes to engulf the insect and obtain the nitrogen it needs.

Answer 2

The appropriate answer is D. The sundew plant has to digest insects because it obtains nitrogen from their bodies that it cannot get from the soil. Plant who consume insects do so because they live in conditions where little to no nitrogen is in the soil or nitrogen uptake is not facilitated by the environment.
the plants digest the insects and obtain the nitrogen they need from the proteins in the insects body. Nitrogen is one of the elements that make up proteins.
