Key Points 

Column I Column II
A. Chlorophyll (iv). Leaf
B. Cuscuta (iii). Parasite
C. Insects (ii). Pitcher plant   
D. Animals (i). Heterotrophs 

Chlorophyll - 

  • It is a photosynthetic pigment present in the leaves
  • It gives green colour to the leaves and is also responsible for trapping sunlight during photosynthesis.
Cuscuta - 
  • Cuscuta does not have chlorophyll.
  • It takes readymade food from the plant on which it climbs. The plant on which it climbs is called a host.
  • Since it deprives the host of valuable nutrients, it is called a parasite.

Pitcher Plant -

  • It is an insectivorous plant
  • It has a Pitcher-like structure that is the modified part of the leaf.
  • The apex of the leaf forms a lid that can open and close the mouth of the pitcher.
  • Inside the pitcher, there are hairs that are directed downwards.
  • When an insect lands in the pitcher, the lid closes and the trapped insect gets entangled into the hair.
  • The insect is digested by the digestive juices secreted in the pitcher.

Animals- 

  • All the animals are dependent on others for their nutrition and are called heterotrophs.
