Modes of Nutrition in Plants
Plants exhibit various modes of nutrition to acquire essential nutrients and sustain growth. Autotrophic nutrition is the primary mode, where plants produce their food through photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into energy. However, some plants have adapted heterotrophic nutrition, where they derive nutrients from other organisms. For instance, parasitic plants like dodder extract nutrients from host plants, while insectivorous plants like Venus flytraps supplement their nutrition by capturing insects. Additionally, symbiotic relationships, such as those between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, allow plants to access essential nutrients like nitrogen. Understanding these modes of nutrition highlights the diversity of plant survival strategies and offers insights into managing soil fertility and plant health in agriculture.
