They grow on another plant so that they can obtain the nutrition from that plant. They are known as parasitic plants.

What is the symbiotic relationship between mistletoe and spruce plants?
Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that needs food from plants like the spruce to survive.
What method of nutrition is animalia?
Animals are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain nutrition by consuming organic matter from other living organisms. They are unable to produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants do.
How do dinoflagellates obtain nutrition?
Zooflagellates obtain nutrition just like animals do. They are heterotrophic meaning they have to consume organic substrates for sustenance. Word origin: Greek, heterone = (an)other + trophe = nutrition.
What is the symbiotic relationship between spruce tree and mistletoe?
Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that needs food from plants like the spruce to survive.
WHAT IS THE NUTRITION of a cactus?
Cactus, like other plants, uses photosynthesis to get energy.
Do we have plant which do not prepare it own food?
Most plants are autotrophic, meaning that they are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis. All these plants need are photons provided by sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. There are, however, some plants that are heterotrophic; they obtain their food through ways other than photosynthesis. Most of these plants, such as carnivorous plants like the Venus fly trap, are still capable of producing their own food. Parasitic plants are the exceptions. While they do have the chloroplasts needed to perform photosynthesis, they do not have roots, which are used to obtain water and nutrients. One example of a parasitic plant is mistletoe. Mistletoe sends its "suckers" into the vessel of its host's xylem cells, to draw out raw sap. The plant then uses this material to perform photosynthesis as other plants do. While they are still able to prepare their own food, parasitic plants are dependent on other organisms for the raw materials.
Why do birds like the mistletoe?
They use the mistletoe for food, mainly its seeds.
How do chickens get energy?
Like all other life forms. They eat, process that food and obtain nutrition.
What kind of food do you have?
My feces is nutrition for many types of plants, but I am sure you'll not like it.
How are protists classified?
1. By the way they get their nutrition a. photoautotroph (do photosynthesis, have chloroplasts to produce their own energy like plants) b. heterotroph (either absorb nutrients like fungi or ingest nutrients like animals) c. mixotrophs (combine both ways to obtain nutrition) 2. The way they move a. with cilia (ciliates) b. with a flagella (flagellates) c. by expanding and contracting their cytoplasm (look at a video of ameoba moving)
How does a paramecium obtain nutrition?
it uses its hair like fur called cilia to catch food it eats yeast,algae and bacteria
Is mistletoe a plant or an animal?
it is a plant and is much like kudzu because it will invade an ecosystem and drain the nutrients from the plants/trees it grows on it has white berries and green leafs
