Plants do not have a digestive system because their need for nourishment is fulfilled through the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They obtain their energy and and nutrients from the energy of the sun to create their supply to live. Therefore using characteristics such as the sun and water their physical nature does not allow them to rely on a digestive system to obtain their need for energy, when their need is supplied almost directly for the sun.
they use the sun for energy to create their food
plants need a way to break food down in order to get energy
plants are producers . they obtain their nourishment from photosynthesis . they do not need digest food . the plant pipe and mistleotoe live as parasites . carnivorous plants utilize animals to provide nitrogen . they get no energy from their prey .
we need small intestines so we can keep the nutriants in our body
A digestive system like what you're referring to is only found in animals. In order for animals to survive they have to eat. This consists of either plants or other animals in order to get the energy and nutrients that they require to live. Plants on the other hand, generate their own energy. They use water and various nutrients from the soul along with chlorophyll and sunlight in order to grow. The combination of these factors in a chemical reaction creates the energy that they need. Therefore, they don't have a digestive system like that which you are referring to.
Parasitic flatowms typically live in the digestive system. Surrounded by pre-digested nutrients, they can easily absorb basic nutrients that they need to maintain homeostasis. In other words, they are borrowing the host's digestive system.
so they can digest everything they eat and drink for example fly traps eat flies but if they didn't have a digestive system they would die from the rot
No. plants do not digest food, they make their own from sun-light, water, CO2, and soil minerals. Plants don't need a digestive system. Animals, in other words, do.I think plants are the only organisms that don't have a digestive system. Many species of the Protists never developed a digestive system. Some unsegmented worms that have taken up a parasitic livelihood (such as Hook Worms and tape worms) have lost what digestive they once had and absorb their nutrients directly through their skin.
yes. after its gone through the digestive system, you need to get rid of it!
They dont eat, They dont need to...
We need our digestive system to digest the food we eat.
It is a parasite that absorbs predigested food. Why need a digestive system when someone else does it for you?
