Is corn an autotroph or heterotroph why?

Answer 1

All non carnivorous plants are autotrophs because they derive their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. They differ from heterotrophs in that they utilise carbon dioxide and not organic carbon sources.

Answer 2

Corn is an autotroph because it can produce its own food through photosynthesis. By using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, corn can create its energy source, carbohydrates. This makes corn self-sustaining and independent from other organisms for its energy needs.

Answer 3

Autotroph
