Plants obtain nutrients through photosynthesis, a process where they use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. This ability to produce their food using inorganic substances is known as autotrophic nutrition. In this mode, plants are self-sustaining and do not rely on consuming other organisms for their energy needs.
Heterotrophic nutrition in plants occurs when they rely on obtaining organic nutrients from other organisms. This can happen in parasitic plants that absorb nutrients from their host plant, or in myco-heterotrophic plants that obtain nutrients from fungi. Overall, these plants do not photosynthesize and rely on external sources for their nutrition.
They depend on other living organisms for their nutrition .and it depends on their mode of nutrition...
Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis are called autotrophs. They are capable of converting sunlight into energy to synthesize organic compounds like carbohydrates. Examples include plants, algae, and some bacteria.
Protists can be autotrophic (able to produce their own food through photosynthesis) or heterotrophic (relying on organic matter as a food source). The classification of a protist largely depends on its specific characteristics and mode of nutrition.
One of the main differences is in their mode of obtaining nutrition: animals are heterotrophic and rely on consuming other organisms for energy, while plants are autotrophic and produce their own energy through photosynthesis. Additionally, animals are typically mobile and have sensory organs, while plants are generally stationary and lack complex sensory structures.
Because most of the plants have autotrophic mode of nutrition.
Because most of the plants have autotrophic mode of nutrition.
The Venus flytrap is both heterotrophic and autotrophic.
holozoic nutrition
all green plants have autotrophic mode of nutrition as they make their own food and animals have heterotrophic mode of nutrition as they depend on other organisms and plants for their food
autotrophic mode of nutrition
what is the mode of nutrition in lichens?
Rafflesia is an autotrophic plant that exhibits a heterotrophic mode of nutrition by parasitizing on the roots of other plants. Cuscuta, also known as dodder, is another autotrophic plant that obtains nutrients by parasitizing the vascular systems of host plants.
Plants have an autotrophic mode of nutrition, meaning they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. They utilize sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to synthesize carbohydrates and other organic compounds necessary for their growth and development.
mostly plants are autotrophs and show autotrophic (auto=self ; trophsos=nourishment) mode of nutrition
Some autotrophic plants like Santalum are partial root parasite to begin with and hence these plants need some host plant for early stages of their growth and development.
autotrophic they make their own food
