Question

Your friend claims that all plants are autotrophs because they perform photosynthesis. Is that a correct statement? Explain.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here We have a question. This is mono trope. A ghost plant is a parasitic plant that lacks blank and obtains its nutrition from fungi that are closely related with its roots. So our answer here is be chlorophyll and because it lacks chlorophyll, it cannot undergo photosynthesis, so it cannot get the nutrients it needs from sunlight, like green plants, so it has to obtain its nutrients from fungi that are closely associated with its roots. Thank you for watching. Bye!
