Question

Quality of storing food using simple inorganic material belongs to plants which are

• A. heterotrophs
• B. autotrophs
• C. both heterotrophs and autotrophs
• D. hypotrophs

Hint:

Plants that make their own food from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight are called autotrophs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Plants that can prepare and store their own food using simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and minerals exhibit autotrophic nutrition. Step 1: Autotrophs synthesize their own food by the process of photosynthesis using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
Step 2: During photosynthesis, plants convert inorganic raw materials into organic food (like glucose), which can then be stored for later use.
Step 3: Heterotrophs depend on other organisms for food and hence cannot prepare food from inorganic substances. Therefore, the given quality belongs to autotrophs.
