Carnivorous plants digest small animals primarily to obtain which nutrient?
Carnivorous plants (e.g., Venus flytrap, pitcher plant) grow in nitrogen-poor soils. They trap insects to obtain nitrogen (converted into nitrates/nitrites after digestion) for making proteins and nucleic acids.
In a neutral or weakly alkaline medium, permanganate ($MnO_{4}^{-}$) oxidizes thiosulphate ($S_{2}O_{3}^{2-}$) to sulphate ($SO_{4}^{2-}$). The reaction is:
$8MnO_{4}^{-} + 3S_{2}O_{3}^{2-} + H_{2}O \rightarrow 8MnO_{2} + 6SO_{4}^{2-} + 2OH^{-}$
In the sulphate ion ($SO_{4}^{2-}$), the oxidation state of sulfur is $+6$.
[cite: 13]Let $n$ be a positive integer divisible by 6. Compare:
Quantity A: The remainder when $n$ is divided by 12
Quantity B: The remainder when $n$ is divided by 18
Since $n$ is divisible by 6, $n$ can be $6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, \ldots$
Example 1: $n = 12$. Remainder ÷12 $= 0$. Remainder ÷18 $= 12$. B > A.
Example 2: $n = 18$. Remainder ÷12 $= 6$. Remainder ÷18 $= 0$. A > B.
Example 3: $n = 36$. Remainder ÷12 $= 0$. Remainder ÷18 $= 0$. Equal.
The relationship changes, so it cannot be determined.
