← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome of nitrogen depletion occurs when carnivorous plants capture prey?
A)Increased root respiration rate
B)Decreased chlorophyll synthesis✓
C)Enhanced cellulose production
D)Reduced xylem water transport
💡 Explanation
A nitrogen deficiency reduces chlorophyll synthesis because plants derive nitrogen from prey digestion using enzymatic hydrolysis, therefore chlorophyll production declines, rather than enhanced processes in other tissues requiring different nutrient availability, under carnivorous plant stress conditions.
