Answer» Explanation: 1 Most of the plants are autotrophs and they produce their own food. But some plants such as PITCHER plant and venus fly trap plant are parasitic in nature. 2Pitcher plants are SEVERAL DIFFERENT carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep CAVITY filled with digestive LIQUID. ... The plants attract and drown their prey with nectar. 3Fungi and algae share their food among each other. The algae or the cyanobacteria benefit their fungal partner by producing organic carbon compounds through photosynthesis. And the relationship is called symbiotic relationship. 4 Stomach. The stomach is a hollow organ, or "container," that holds food while it is being mixed with stomach enzymes. These enzymes continue the process of breaking down food into a usable form. Cells in the lining of the stomach secrete a strong acid and powerful enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown process. |
