The correct Answer is:
To determine which plant has a heterotrophic mode of nutrition, we need to understand the definitions and characteristics of different nutritional modes in plants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Nutrition**: - **Autotrophic Nutrition**: This is when a plant can produce its own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) or chemical processes (chemosynthesis). Examples include green plants, algae, and some bacteria. - **Heterotrophic Nutrition**: This is when an organism cannot produce its own food and must obtain it from other sources. This includes animals, fungi, and some plants. 2. **Identify Heterotrophic Plants**: - Some plants do not perform photosynthesis and rely on other organisms for their nutrition. Examples include: - **Carnivorous plants** (like Venus flytrap and pitcher plants) that trap and digest insects. - **Parasitic plants** (like mistletoe and dodder) that derive nutrients from other living plants. - **Saprophytic plants** (like certain fungi) that feed on decaying organic matter. 3. **Consider the Given Options**: - If the question provides specific plant options, identify which of them are known to have heterotrophic characteristics. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the understanding of heterotrophic nutrition, select the plant from the options that is known to rely on other organisms for its nutrients. ### Example Answer: If the options were: - A) Oak tree (Autotrophic) - B) Venus flytrap (Heterotrophic) - C) Rose plant (Autotrophic) - D) Mistletoe (Heterotrophic) The correct answer would be **B) Venus flytrap** and **D) Mistletoe** as they both exhibit heterotrophic nutrition.
