Does a Venus fly trap use the process of photosynthesis as well as digesting insects?
A student asked this and I do not know the answer. Green plants use photosynthesis and a flytrap is green. It is a member of the sundew family. It is also a green plant that traps and digests insects.
Absolutely! Photosynthesis is actually the primary source of energy for Venus flytraps. They can live indefinitely without ever catching an insect. Also, the soil that they live in is nutrient poor, so they don't get much in the way of nutrients from the soil. That's why they developed the ability to trap insects in order to supplement the lack of nutrients in the soil.
