K SURESH KUMAR · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant nutrient requirements
	**Related Topics**: Nitrogen fixation, Soil nutrients
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant biology
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	Insectivorous plants consume insects.
	Question asks the nutrient they obtain from insects.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the major nutrients required by plants.
		Reasoning: Understands that plants require various nutrients for growth.
	2. Identify the nutrient that is commonly obtained from proteins in insects.
		Working: Nitrogen is a key component of amino acids which form proteins.
	3. Select the correct option.
		Result: Nitrogen is the correct answer.
		Verification: Plant biology knowledge confirms nitrogen as the primary reason for insect consumption.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Sodium and potassium are important for other physiological functions but not the primary reason for consuming insects.
[B] ✓: Nitrogen is a key component of amino acids and is required for protein synthesis, hence the reason insectivorous plants eat insects.
[C] :x: Chlorine is a micronutrient and not the primary reason for insect consumption.
[D] :x: Phosphorus is required for energy transfer and other functions but not the main reason for insect consumption.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing micronutrients with macronutrients. [How to avoid]: Review the major nutrient requirements of plants.
		2.[Error 2]:  Not understanding the role of nitrogen in protein synthesis. [How to avoid]: Study the nitrogen cycle and its importance in biological systems.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that insects are rich in proteins and proteins contain nitrogen.
		2.[Memory aid]: Think of N for Nitrogen and N for needing it.
