Most of them are not, They are autotrophs.That means that they are able to produce their own organic compounds which are used for energy gaining through a series of biochemical reactions (photosynthesis).
Some of the plants are partially heterotrophs - They may consume already prepared organic compounds but also are able to make their own chemicals.Such plants are the carnivorous plants (venus flytrap, Nepenthes and others).
Part of the plants are mycoheterotrophs, which means that they are unable to make their own chemicals and uptake them with the help of different fungi (special type of symbiosis known as mycorrhiza - known in many orchids).
Heterotrophs get energy by eating plants. The process is called food chain.
Yes ! Lichen are the name of a double organism, consisting of a fungus and a true plant.
ANSWER:Algae
stuff/ Green Plants capable of photosynthesis are considered as producers in science.
Plants are autotrophic. Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis. The light and dark reaction from photosynthesis produce ATP for the plant. There are exceptions to every thing.The Venus fly trap is an exception to the rule to a certain degree, but plants are autotrophic. Just like in Chordatesthere are species that do not have vertebrates but do have a notochord and a doral nerve core and still falls under the category of a vertebrate/ Chordate.
Green plants are usually autotrophs
Humans are heterotrophs Plants are autotrophs
Yes, humans are heterotrophs, ' other eaters, ' while plants are autotrophs, ' self eaters. '
Green plants are autotrophs. They prepare their own food with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals and the green pigment chlorophyll. Plants which doesn't have chlorophyll doesn't have green colour. So, they cannot make their own food. These plants and animals are called heterotrophs as they directly or indirectly depend on green plants for food.
heterotrophs
Fungi are heterotrophic but not plants .
Green plants are best described as multicellular autotrophs. They have complex structures made up of many cells and, through the process of photosynthesis, they produce their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This distinguishes them from heterotrophs, which cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms.
Heterotrophs are living things that have to eat other living things to survive. That would be an animal, since plants make their own food.Heterotrophs that eat other heterotrophs would be animals that eat other animals. Heterotrophs that eat only other heterotrophs would be a carnivore. If the heterotroph eats both heterotrophs (animals) and autotrophs (plants), that would describe an omnivore.
Heterotrophs are animals that cannot make their food, like plants can. the most common kingdom of heterotrophs is the Animalia kingdom. Hope this helps.
Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.
all heterotrophs
Heterotroph are organisms that consume or eat their own food. Examples: sheeps, spiders, cows etcMushrooms are producers rather than heterotrophs because their depend on sunlight to make their own food. All producers like grass, plants and any other green plants depend on the suns energy to produce their own foods.
