b. nitrogen ... to make sugar
c. phosphorus ... to make protein
d. nitrogen ... to make protein

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. Today we have that wedge of the following statements is true. Let's go over each statement individually so we may begin solving the problem. Beginning by statement. A plans can abso nitrogen from the atmosphere as such without the nitrogen fixation process is actually going to be an incorrect statement because plants rely on certain bacteria to transform atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates and other forms of nitrogen that the plants can use. This is what the nitrogen fixation process is all about. So they require this process and this statement is going to be incorrect. Then we have answer choice. Some plants can grow successfully with the aid of photosynthesis so they do not need nitrogen for their growth. This is actually also going to be an incorrect statement. Nitrogen is said to be one of the most important nutrients in when it comes to plant development and growth. So we're going to also be canceling this out. Then we have answer choice E to supplement their nitrogen intake. Carnivorous plants are going to be consuming insects. Remember that these carnivorous plants are going to be growing in areas of very low nutrients so they do not have access to this very important nitrogen that we were talking about in the previous statement to supplement their nitrogen intake. They're definitely going to be consuming these insects and taking the nitrogen from them because of this. This is going to be our true statement and we're going to highlight it as the final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
