is that correct to say that all plants are autotrophs.Why?
Answers
Answer:
It is true that all plants are Autotrophs because they make their own food by the process of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight and water. They don't need anyone to make their food. They take carbon dioxide from air, sunlight from the atmosphere and water from the soil and make glucose and oxygen.
Answer:
No...
Explanation:
Autotrophs are plants which can produce their food on their own. And the process is called photosynthesis. With the help of carbon dioxide, water, light, carbohydrates.
But this is not my answer.
Many plants which lack the green pigment chlorophyll cannot prepare their own food, for example fungi. Hence they derive their food by feeding on dead decaying matter. Such plants are called heterotrophic plants
So, all plants are not autotrophs.
Hope it helps
