Summary Introduction

To review:

The similarity and difference between legumes and pitcher plants on the basis of nutrient acquisition.

Introduction:

The pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant and it traps, kills, and absorbs the nutrients from the ants or insects that sit on it. The nutrients absorbed from the insects are utilized for the growth of the plant. Leguminous plants (peas, soybean) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia live symbiotically. These bacteria associate within nodules of the root systems in plant, which in turn produce nitrogen compounds enhancing plant growth.

Humans consider themselves amazingly clever and innovative, constantly developing "new" ways of altering the world around us. As material consumption has increased, many have turned to the ideas of recycling and reuse as a means to minimize some negative aspects of our modern consumerism. Mother Nature though is the ultimate innovator and, more importantly, the ultimate recycler.
