Which is the only organism that prepares its own food?

Photosynthetic organisms "prepare" food by synthesis from light thus Photo-synthesis.. synthesis means to make, to produce.


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.


How does chloroplast prepare food for the cells?

It is about photosynthesis. They prepare carbohydrates by CO2 and H2O.


Why is balance between plants and animals essential?

balance between plants & animals is essential because plants are autotrophs , they can make their own food but animals are heterotrophs , they cannot prepare their own food so they have to depend on plants ( autotrophs) for their food. moreover, to prepare their food plants need C02 , WHICH IS RELEASED IN THE ENVIRONMENT BY ANIMALS ( BY RESPIRATION) & IN TURN THEY RELEASE Oxygen which is essential for the life of animals & also to maintain balance in nature , the number of plants should be equal to the number of animals.


Why plants are called universal food providers?

Plants are considered universal food providers because they serve as the primary source of food for many living organisms, including humans, animals, and insects. Additionally, plants produce oxygen, support ecosystems, and contribute to soil fertility, making them essential for sustaining life on Earth.

What are the plants that cannot prepare their food by themselves?

Plants that cannot prepare their own food are called heterotrophic plants. These plants rely on other organisms for their nutrition, such as fungi in the case of mycoheterotrophic plants or host plants in the case of parasitic plants. Examples include Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) and dodder (Cuscuta spp.).
