Question

Name a plant that is partially autotrophic.

Answer 1

Partially autotrophic plant:

1. The photosynthesis that the pitcher plant accomplishes makes it an autotrophic plant, but because it grows in nitrogen-deficient soil, it also possesses a partly heterotrophic mode of nourishment.
2. Insectivorous plants are partially autotrophs rather than total autotrophs.
3. They consume insects but still use light and water to generate their own energy.
4. Partially autotrophic plants include pitcher plants.
