how come a pitcher plant is a plant instead of an animal?

Question

A pitcher plant is a plant which lives on insects and other bugs

Answer 1

It's a plant because it has most of the biological properties associated with plants
a cell wall that contains cellulose (animal cells contain no cellulose)
cells photosynthesize (no known animal cells do)
It fixes carbon

There is a misconception that the pitcher plant, and the venus flytrap are carnivorous. They aren't, they trap insects, and the insects are than degraded by enzymes into smaller biological components which these plants then use.

Answer 2

a pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant. it has all the properties of plants and additional to that it can survive in nitrogen deficient soil, because it can use the protein from small insects. so whatever is te basic difference between a plant and an animal, same is the difference between a pitcher plant ( and other insectivorous plant) and an animal. hence, it is a plant!

Answer 3

A pitcher plant isa carnivorous kind of a plant .
It cannot make its own food-Animal behaviour
It cannot move from place to place-plant behaviour.
so its not fully a plant.it is also partly an animal.

Answer 4

Well, for one, plants have double cell walls and animals have single walls. That's a huge difference!

no heart
no brain

same reasons for venus fly trap
