Almost all living things that are classified as plants carry out photosynthesis.
However, a very few plants do not. For example, the Indian pipe plant contains no chlorophyll. Instead, the Indian pipe takes nutrients from a fungus. Indian pipes grow in areas of low light that tend to be rich in decaying plant matter. As a result, they have adapted to obtain nutrients from the fungi that digest the decaying pant matter.
This method of obtaining nutrients is called myco-heterotrophy. There are several types of plants that live in similar low light conditions that have adapted to obtain nutrients in this way.

What do plant need to photosynthesize?
Plants need light to photosynthesize. Photo-Light They use the light for their only energy source. The exceptions being carnivorous plants such as Bladderworts and the always-known Venus Fly Traps.
How is photosynthesis effected by winter?
Typically, in winter there is less sunlight. The light that does reach the plants is weaker as the Earth is tilted further away from the Sun in winter. Plants are unabe to photosynthesize without sunlight, it is the power behind the entire process. Also, plants are unable to photosynthesize without water. In the depths of winter, much of this may be locked up as ice and therefore unaccessible to most plants.
Plants convert sunlight energy into what?
starch.They photosynthesize to produce starch Or sugar.Sugar will be transformed into starch.
What is the refference of why is it that only plants can photosynthesize?
As well as plants, some bacteria also photosynthesize, though they use a different chemical process. Some plants use different photosynthetic mechanisms, known as C3, C4, and CAM. The latter mechanism is used by plants (such as some 'perching plants') that may have a water conservation problem. These plants open their stomata at night to take in CO2, and dissolve that in a specific chemical. During the day, they close their stomata to conserve water, and process the stored CO2 to produce sugars, etc.
