Can we say that insectivores plants are partial hetrotrophs. explain ?
Insectivorous plants also prepare food by themselves, but they lack some of the vital  nutrients since they grow in soil where the nutrients are deficient.They eat some insects and thus make up for the nutrients. Hence they are said to be partial heterotrophs. A plant which fulfills its nitrogenous needs by eating insects is called an insectivorous plant.
