Question

1. Why are some plants non-green? How do these plants get their food?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Non green plants These are plants which do not manufacture their own food . They are not green in colour due absence of chlorophyll – the green substance in other plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Non-green plants do not have chloroplast and thus they do not have chlorophyll which is a pigment essential for photosynthesis to take place. Since plants get food through the process of photosynthesis, they cannot make food in absence of chlorophyll and that is why non-green plants cannot make their own food.
