Most of them are not, They are autotrophs.That means that they are able to produce their own organic compounds which are used for energy gaining through a series of biochemical reactions (photosynthesis).
Some of the plants are partially heterotrophs - They may consume already prepared organic compounds but also are able to make their own chemicals.Such plants are the carnivorous plants (venus flytrap, Nepenthes and others).
Part of the plants are mycoheterotrophs, which means that they are unable to make their own chemicals and uptake them with the help of different fungi (special type of symbiosis known as mycorrhiza - known in many orchids).

However, they are technically photolithoautotrophs, which means they use light, inorganic electron donors, and fix carbon, respectively, in order to obtain "food."

What is the name of the process that heterotropsh gets energy from?
Heterotrophs get energy by eating plants. The process is called food chain.
Are lichens green plants or non green plants?

What are tiny green plants that look like a green carpet?
ANSWER:Algae
What do producers mean in science?
stuff/ Green Plants capable of photosynthesis are considered as producers in science.
Are plants autotrophic or heterotrophic?
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.
Are plant and animals both heterotrophs?
Green plants are usually autotrophs
Is a humam an heterotrophs?
Humans are heterotrophs Plants are autotrophs
Do Humans use food and oxygen produced by green plants?
Yes, humans are heterotrophs, ' other eaters, ' while plants are autotrophs, ' self eaters. '
How do heterotrophs get their nitrogen?
Heterotrophs get nitrogen from the food they consume in autotrophs like plants to get nitrate salts contained in the plants.
How are green plants different from animals with respect to the food they need?
Green plants are autotrophs. They prepare their own food with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals and the green pigment chlorophyll. Plants which doesn't have chlorophyll doesn't have green colour. So, they cannot make their own food. These plants and animals are called heterotrophs as they directly or indirectly depend on green plants for food.
Are plants heterotrophs?
Fungi are heterotrophic but not plants .
What kingdom did plants used to be in?
heterotrophs
What is the answer for eats other heterotrophs?
Heterotrophs are living things that have to eat other living things to survive. That would be an animal, since plants make their own food.Heterotrophs that eat other heterotrophs would be animals that eat other animals. Heterotrophs that eat only other heterotrophs would be a carnivore. If the heterotroph eats both heterotrophs (animals) and autotrophs (plants), that would describe an omnivore.
What else can a heterotrophs be called?
Heterotrophs are animals that cannot make their food, like plants can. the most common kingdom of heterotrophs is the Animalia kingdom. Hope this helps.
What are differences between heterotroph and autotroph?
Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.
Is bursaria a hetertroph?
no. plants are autotrophs. animals are heterotrophs
What plants absorb Carbon dioxide?
all heterotrophs
