What are some examples of non-chlorophyll plants and how do they obtain their nutrients and energy without the ability to photosynthesize?

Non-chlorophyll plants, such as fungi and some parasitic plants, obtain nutrients and energy by either decomposing organic matter or by parasitizing other plants. Fungi, for example, absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, while parasitic plants like dodder extract nutrients from their host plants. These non-chlorophyll plants rely on alternative methods to obtain the resources needed for their survival since they cannot photosynthesize like chlorophyll-containing plants.


Does croton plant have chlorophyll?

The Croton is a flowering plant, although the flowers are insignificant, they are grown for their foliage.


How do plants with foliage that is not green in color photosynthesize?

Plants with foliage that is not green in color can still photosynthesize because they contain pigments other than chlorophyll, such as anthocyanins or carotenoids, which can also capture sunlight and convert it into energy. These pigments may have different absorption spectra than chlorophyll but can still be used in the photosynthesis process.


What are the pigments that plants use?

Plants primarily use chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins as pigments for photosynthesis and protection. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis, carotenoids help in capturing light energy and protecting against damage, while anthocyanins provide protection against UV radiation and attract pollinators.


Why do green plants photosynthesis?

Green plants photosynthesize to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of energy that the plant can use for growth and development. This process requires sunlight and chlorophyll, a green pigment in plants, to capture and convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Do humans possess chlorophyll in their bodies?

No, humans do not possess chlorophyll in their bodies. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Humans do not have the ability to photosynthesize like plants do.


Why is it that generally the leaves of plants is color green?

Because plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize energy from solar radiation and chlorophyll is a bad absorber of light's green wavelengths.


What is the group of seedless plants that does not have chlorophyll?

The group of seedless plants that does not have chlorophyll is fungi. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their surroundings. They do not photosynthesize like plants, which is why they lack chlorophyll.


All chloroplast are plastid but not plastid are chloroplast?

All chloroplasts are plastids because chloroplasts are plastids containing chlorophyll. But, all plastids are not chloroplasts because only those plastid that contains chlorophyll are chloroplasts.


Does a leaf have chlorophyll?

All leaves that photosynthesize have chlorophyll.


Do plants and animals both have plastid?

Animals cells do not have plastid but plants do.
