2. Plants who eat Not common Examples include Venus Fly Trap, Sundew and Pitcher plant Use ENZYMES :chemicals that break big molecules into small molecules (digest)

3. Mineral poor soil Soil that lacks phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen NORMAL soil : (ex. garden): bugs, bacteria and mold (decomposers) turn big molecules into small molecules of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus Plants use those minerals to make cell walls, chloroplast, mitochondria Because of the water, few decomposers in a bog, so little minerals.

5. Bog

6. BOG Notice open water

8. Exmoor, England Notice drainage ditches, and harvesting paths for the peat moss

9. Therefore…. Plants eat! Lots of nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (PO4), and Potassium (K) in a bug

10. How do they break down bug molecules? Enzymes found in glands Gland is a bunch of cells in one place that make enzymes In us… salivary glands in mouth, pancreas has glands that make insulin and other enzymes
