Match the following: 1. Cuscuta a. Autotrophs 2. Pitcher plants b. Starch 3. Green plants c. Bacteria 4. Food stored in plants d. Insectivorous 5. Rhizobium e. Parasitic

1- (e) The plants that live on other plants and obtain nutrition from it is called parasites, and the type of nutrition is parasitic. They do not have chlorophyll and are dependent on the host. 2-(d) Pitcher plants, on the other hand, are also called Carnivorous pants. Carnivorous because they feed on insects. As they consume insects, they are called insectivorous plant also. They can perform photosynthesis. But they feed on insects to fulfill their requirement of nitrogen. 3-(a) Green plants can prepare its own food by the process of photosynthesis. During this process, they use sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and in the presence of chlorophyll. So, they are called autotrophs or producers. 4-(b) Green plants prepare their food in the form of a simple carbohydrate called glucose. They store this in the form of starch. 5-(c) Plants cannot utilise atmospheric nitrogen. Certain microbes such as Rhizobium can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be used by the plants. The bacterium gets associated with the roots of leguminous plants. They are in a symbiotic relationship. Rhizobium is nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 1. Cuscuta e. Parasitic 2. Pitcher plants d. Insectivorous 3. Green plants a. Autotrophs 4. Food stored in plants b. Starch 5. Rhizobium c. Bacteria

All organism needs food to sustain. The process of intake of food and its utilisation in the body is called nutrition. Components of food like carbohydrate, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins are called nutrients.
