Q. Leaves of Utricularia are modified into
Solution:
Insectivorous plants get their nutrition by feeding on insects and other organisms.
These plants are found in humid areas. In humid areas, sunlight and moisture are available, but the soil is nitrogen deficient. They trap and digest the insects to absorb nutrients.
Utricularia is commonly called bladderworts because of some bladder-like structure they wear. All Utricularia are insectivorous. They capture small organisms using bladder-like traps. In Utricularia, some of the leaves are modified to form small bladders (utricles) each one is 1-3 mm in diameter.
