Plants are autotrophs, meaning they make their own food - plants use the energy from sunlight to create sugar, which they then use for metabolic energy. Other nutrients are drawn from either the soil or the air around the plants.

Do Venus fly traps need sunlight to live?
Yes they do. Although Venus flytraps are carnivorous plants, they still utilize photosynthesis to obtain most of the nutrients and energy they need to survive. Flytraps found in the wild need the extra nutrients they obtain from the insects they consume to provide them with nutrients the soil they inhabit doesn't have.
What is the structure that feeds most plants?
The structure that feeds most plants is soil, so the nutrients from it.
Which describes the cuticle that most plants have?
A system of tubelike structures that transport nutrients
What do primary consumers do in an ecosystem?
They consume the plants (producers) and obtain the most amount of nutrients and energy and then get eaten by the secondary consumers who obtain a little less energy since it is being passed down a line. Cows would be a primary who consumers grass that obtained energy and nutrients through photosynthesis and then we eat the cow (secondary) and gain what was left from the grass after the cow ate it and spent energy
Is sarcodine a autotroph or heterotroph?
Most are heterotrophs. They feed on other animals to obtain the nutrients they need to live.
Do all plants produce their food?
It depends what you mean by "food". All plants need sunlight, water and nutrients to "eat" and make energy which they do themselves. Most plants are able to obtain nutrients from the soil or water, but some plants are carnivorous and catch their own food in order to obtain nutrients which they could not otherwise obtain. Some of the common examples of this are the venus flytrap and the pitcher plants which are able to live in nutrient poor regions. These catch insects and digest them for nutrients, but they do not obtain energy from this process as carnivorous animals do.
How does a lily obtain nutrients?
Most plants obtain their nutrients through the roots in the soil, which are covered thin, absorbent tissue. Nutrients are absorbed and delivered to the plant through a vascular system that transports it in a nutritious fluid (sap) throughout the plant. Additionally, many plants benefit from a symbiotic relationship (a relationship where both parties benefit) with microbes in the soil that live on or in parts of the roots that help digest, breakdown, and convert nutrients in the soil into forms that the plant can absorb and use.

Function of vascular system of plants?
In most plants, the vascular system helps to distribute water and nutrients from the roots throughout the plant to the leaves. The presence of a vascular system allows for plants, especially trees, to grow to great lengths and still obtain all the nutrients and water to feed the cells throughout.

Does sand contain nutrients?
well plants can grow in sand so it most have some nutrients
Where do plants obtain most of their nitrogen?
Unless they are legumes, from the soil.
