Plants are autotrophic. Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis. The light and dark reaction from photosynthesis produce ATP for the plant. There are exceptions to every thing.
The Venus fly trap is an exception to the rule to a certain degree, but plants are autotrophic. Just like in Chordatesthere are species that do not have vertebrates but do have a notochord and a doral nerve core and still falls under the category of a vertebrate/ Chordate.
Green plants are autotrophic. (Look up autotrophic).....plants produce there energy from photosynthesis through the light and dark reaction which produces ATP (energy) for the plant.
Yes there are exceptions...the "Venus fly trap" is a facultative heterotroph. The Fly trap still photosynthesize to make carbohydrates (thus they have green leaves), but they get their nitrogen fix from the insects that they trap, digest and absorb. This is due to the fact that these plants live in bogs, which tend to be low in available nitrogen. If the Venus fly-trap is grown in an environment where nitrogen is available in the soil, the plants can survive autonomously, but it does not change the fact that green plants are Autotrophic.

Are African violets autotrophic or heterotrophic?
African Violets are plants and make their own food, so they are autotrophs.
Is protista autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Protista, with its peculiar nature, has varieties of ways to gain nutrition. Some like algae and planktons are autotrophic, while animal-like protists such as paramecium and stentor are heterotrophic. Still others are classified as being mixotrophic, which means that they are both capable of obtaining food from others and from inorganic sources.
Is locus hetertroph or autotroph?
I think you meant locust. They're heterotrophs just like all animals.
What traits are shared all by protists?
All protists are eukaryotes, some are heterotrophic, some are autotrophic, almost all can move, and almost all are single celled. No, we need traits that ALL of them share, not just some or almost all.
What is the mode of nutrition of Oscillatoria?
holozoic nutrition
Are plants autotrophic or hetrotrophic?
plants which cant make their food are called heterotrophic plants
Are moss heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Mosses are autotrophic, meaning they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. They do not rely on other organisms for nutrients.
Is the plant kingdom autotrophic or heterotrophic?
it is the planta kingdom actually but anyway it is autotrophic mostly but i am not sure about the flytrap plants
Do the autotrophic cells in either plants or animals?
Autotrophic cells are found in plants, where they use chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis and produce energy from sunlight. Animals do not contain autotrophic cells; they are heterotrophic and must consume other organisms for energy.
Are horses heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Heterotrophic.
Are all protozoans prokaryotic and autorophic?
No, not all protozoans are prokaryotic and autotrophic. Protozoans are eukaryotic organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protozoans can photosynthesize like plants, while heterotrophic protozoans rely on organic matter for nutrition.
What is something that heterotrophic organisms do?
Heterotrophic organisms cannot synthesise their own food.They are dependent on autotrophic organisms(i.e. plants)for their food
What organism is both heterotrophic and autotrophic?
Carnivorous plants are one example, but there may be others…
Name a plant having both heterotrophic and autotrophic mode of nutrition?
The Venus flytrap is both heterotrophic and autotrophic.
Are amobea autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Amoebae are heterotrophic.
Name any 2 autotrophic plants showing heterotrophic mode of nutrition also.?
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.
Is Light reaction autotrophic or heterotrophic?
it is autotrophic nutrition
