Some animals seem to be more similar to plants than animals. This is especially true for the sessile ones—those that just sit in one place for the majority of their lives. For example, the giant clam Tridacna sits in one place all the time sunning itself and essentially farming photosynthetic algal symbionts from which it draws its nutrients. Sea anemones and corals just sit in the same place their whole lives catching organic material that falls from above. How is that any different from a pitcher plant? Answer the following questions to reach a conclusion: b. How is a pitcher plant similar to a sea anemone
