Green plant are autotrophic in their mode of nutrition. Why?

Answer»

The process by which green plants make their own food from CARBON DIOXIDE and water by using sunlight energy in the presence of chlorophyll is called photosynthesis. Green plants also need FOOS to acquire energy. All living organisms need energy to perform various life prosesses. This article deals with the  modes of nutrition in  plants. How plants prepare their own food, what all factors are responsible for photosynthesis etc.

Plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight and hence they are autotrophs. Plants CONVERT sunlight energy into chemical energy. They use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make their own food in the presence of chlorophyll.

There are two types of modes of nutrition in plants. They are:

1) Autotrophic

2) Heterotrophic

Since we are learning about mode of nutrition in plants we will discuss only about autotrophic mode of nutrition.
