Question

Which statement IS NOT TRUE concerning plant nutritional strategies:

a. "carnivorous" plants are commonly found in nutrient-poor habitats such as bogs
b. mycorrhizae allow Speckled Alders to obtain Nitrogen
c. many bog plants retain their leaves through the winter to conserve nutrients
d. Heath plants have hairs on the underside of their leaves to prevent desiccation in winter
e. the majority of plants are autotrophs that photosynthesise

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT TRUE concerning plant nutritional strategies is that many bog plants retain their leaves through the winter to conserve nutrients.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the given statements, the one that is NOT TRUE concerning plant nutritional strategies is:

1. c. many bog plants retain their leaves through the winter to conserve nutrients

Carnivorous plants, which are commonly found in nutrient-poor habitats such as bogs, obtain nutrients from their prey. Mycorrhizae, a mutualistic association between plants and fungi, allow plants like Speckled Alders to obtain nitrogen. Heath plants have hairs on the underside of their leaves to prevent desiccation in winter. And the majority of plants are indeed autotrophs that photosynthesize to obtain their food and energy.
