Question

Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. Organisms living in a bog environment must be able to tolerate nitrogen-poor, acidic conditions. Bog plants such as the Venus flytrap and sundew are able to obtain their nitrogen by attracting and consuming insects. These plants produce chemicals that break down the insects into usable compounds. Which compounds present in insects are composed of the amino acids that provide the Venus flytrap and sundew with much of their nitrogen?

Answer 1

proteins

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Protein

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins are made up of polypeptide chains of amino acids.Therefore protein is the compound which supplies Nitrogen.

Basically a Amino acid of protein is made up of two basic functional groups;

The Amine group of NH2 and the COOH- groups,.

Other substituents to the central carbon are the hydrogen atom and the R-group which determines the nature of amino acids. It is the Nitrogen atom in the Amine group that is absorbed by these carnivorous insects for supply of needed Nitrogen in proteins.
