Important Questions on Nutrition in Plants

Why can't animals make food from carbon dioxide, water and sunlight, like plants do?

The pitcher plant and Venus flytrap are green plants that can photosynthesize.
Why do they need to feed on insects?

Plants do not have a digestive system like us. Why do they not need a digestive system?

Deepak carried out an experiment to see the effect of increasing the amount of carbon dioxide available to a pondweed (a submerged plant) on the rate of photosynthesis carried out by the plant. The readings of the experiment are plotted in the graph?
How do you think he measured the rate of photosynthesis?

How do you think he increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the water?

Since temperature causes a change in the rate of photosynthesis, he kept the temperature constant throughout the experiment. Suggest one more factor that he should have kept constant.

Why did the graph increase initially?
