← Nature & AnimalsWhich adaptation enables pitcher plants to acquire nitrogen in nutrient-poor soils?
A)Secretion capturing prey’s released compounds✓
B)Enhanced root water uptake efficiency
C)Symbiotic methane fixation
D)Increased leaf photosynthetic rates
💡 Explanation
Secretion of digestive enzymes and absorption through prey decomposition allows them to obtain nitrogen; this mechanism, enzyme secretion, breaks down prey into usable nutrients, because they lack direct soil absorption from bacterial fixation therefore they depend on insect protein capture and nitrogen compounds rather than groundwater alone.
