Question

Explore on internet about Heterotrophic mode of nutrition in Plants. Collect
information and make a report about „Heterotrophic Plants‟ mentioned in your living
science book. Supplement your report with diagrams / pictures of all those
heterotrophic plants.

Answer 1

Answer:

Heterotrophic nutrition is a mode of nutrition in which organisms depend upon other organisms for food to survive. They can't make there food own like Green plants. Heterotrophic organisms have to take in all the organic substances they need to survive.

All animals, certain types of fungi, and non-photosynthesizing plants are heterotrophic. In contrast, green plants, red algae, brown algae, and cyanobacteria are all autotrophs, which use photosynthesis to produce their own food from sunlight. Some fungi may be saprotrophic, meaning they will extracellularly secrete enzymes onto their food to be broken down into smaller, soluble molecules which can diffuse back into the fungus.
