Question

Which of the following is an autotroph? a. mushroom b. tree c. deer d. wolf

Answer 1

The right answer is b. Tree.

Some plants (like trees) have evolved with different unusual nutritional adaptations over time. Heterotrophic plants are plants that use only or partly a source of organic carbon to grow, unlike the most common autotrophic plants, which use inorganic carbon and water to grow, often through the process of photosynthesis (photoautotrophic).
