Why Does The Carnivorous Pitcher Plant Undergo Photosynthesis?

I would like to thank Dr. Lori Boies for her help during the entirety of this project, particularly in helping revise and state what information I should be including as well. I am also grateful to my classmates for their assistance in helping revise and give opinions on how to improve my infographic and for providing positive feedback that helped show what areas of the infographic stuck with those who read it.

It was fantastic to come across this infographic! The vibrant colors and thoughtful composition really caught my eye. Not only was it visually appealing, but the information on carnivorous pitcher plants was fascinating. I applaud the creator’s creativity and attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing more innovative works from them in the future!

Beautiful infographic! I love the design choices and color scheme. I learned the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition and what those meant before reading this infographic. This infographic is easy to follow and keeps your attention with the flow and design. The topic is exciting and informative for all ages! Adding insects to the plant’s diet must be fantastic to watch in person. Congrats on the nomination!

Great infographic! It is so interesting to see that so many plants are carnivorous. To me it is outstanding to learn about especially when plants are able to nourish themselves through sunlight and carbon dioxide and simply how they are able to adapt to nature. Along with now learning that there are so many who actually develop a carnivorous nature and why they have to develop certain things like this while still undergo photosynthesis. Very interesting infographic was fun and easy to absorb.

I like this infographic that you did. I loved how you included the difference in words when it came to explaining the difference in types of plants. This infographic was really easy for me to follow and it was designed very beautifully. The last thing that I like about this was the way it was organized which allowed me to follow without getting confused with other information.

Hi Sydney! I love the colors that you used for your infographic, it is visually pleasing to look at. I also loved the little images of plants. The title is what caught my attention and it was interesting to learn about photosynthesis in carnivorous plants, and learn the difference between autotrophic vs heterotrophic and that they feed on insects for nutrients. Overall, great job!

Well thought out Infograph! As someone who loves plants and knowing the different types there are while also the benefits of them. So being able to see that many plants are carnivores while simply going through photosynthesis is amazing to learn about this topic is captivating. Can’t wait to see more of your work because this one was super interesting to read and acknowledge

Hi Sydney! Great infographic, it is very appealing to the eye and so easy to read! I did not know the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic until I read this! I am not really good with plants, and I wasn’t really aware about carnivorous pitcher plants, it was captivating! Congratulations on your nomination and great work!

The only carnivorous plant I was familiar with, as I’m sure most people are, is the Venus flytrap. (I don’t know if that plant is a pure heterotroph.) It’s weird to think that plants can evolve to trap live prey; it makes you wonder what they would be able to do if given the time-span to evolve other carnivorous traits. This was insightful and remedies a superficial knowledge I had.
