Question

There are some plants which do not have chlorophyll how do they survive and from where do they derive nutrition?

Answer 1

Answer:

Without the green chlorophyll all plants would be white. It doesn't make food for itself like other plants, but instead gets its nourishment through a mutually beneficial fungal and tree root (mycorrhizal) relationship. Just like other plants, the Indian pipe has a single flower on each stem. A parasitic plant depends on its host for survival. A saprophyte is a plant that does not have chlorophyll and gets its food from dead matter, similar to bacteria and fungi (note that fungi are often called saprophytes, which is incorrect, because fungi are not plants).

Answer 2

Plants which do not have chlorophyll live as parasites, taking their food from another plant.

How do they survive?

• Without the green chlorophyll, all plants would be white.
• It doesn't make nourishment for itself like different plants, yet rather helps its sustenance through a commonly valuable contagious and tree root (mycorrhizal) relationship.
• Very much like different plants, the Indian line has a solitary blossom on each stem.
• A parasitic plant relies upon its host for endurance.
• A saprophyte is a plant that doesn't have chlorophyll and gets its food from dead matter, like microbes and growths (note that parasites are many times called saprophytes, which is inaccurate because organisms are not plants).
• They live as parasites, taking their food from other plants.

What plants don't contain chlorophyll?

• Cuscuta is a parasitic plant.
• These plants don't contain chlorophyll.
