Question

A plant which manufactures its own food is
A.Autotrophic
B.Symbiotic
C.Heterotrophic
D.Saprophytic

Answer 1

The leaves are the main organs of plant food manufacturing.The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, supplements, and energy from daylight. This cycle is called photosynthesis. During the cycle of photosynthesis, plants discharge oxygen into the air.

Complete answer:
To conclude with the answer,let us understand each term one by one:
A. The name autotroph is determined as "auto" signifies self and "troph" signifies feeding. Along these lines, the plants which can make their own food are called autotrophs.
B. Symbiotic organisms are living beings which produce food by relying on others for substances.
C. Heterotrophs are living beings which can't deliver their own food and rely upon others for it.
D. Saprophytes are plants which acquire energy from dead and rotting matter.

So, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
A plant that synthesizes its own food is autotroph.

Plants make their own food with the assistance of light energy and convert it into compound energy by the cycle of photosynthesis.
The word 'autotroph' signifies:
Auto: Self
Troph: Food
Which means organisms are able to make their own food with the help of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis.
They are the tenderfoot of every food chain and all other living creatures rely upon them legitimately or in a roundabout way for endurance.
Heterotrophs are living beings that can't make their own food and rely upon the autotrophs or different heterotrophs. For example humans we depend on plants and animals for our nutrition.
