Hence it has a heterotopic mode of nutrition. Considered one of the rarest in the world not only for its gigantic petals but also for the putrid smell it emits to attract pollinators and prey.
Because the Rafflesia does not have a chloroplast (lacks chlorophyll), it is incapable of photosynthesis. So it is a parasite: it gets all its nutrients and water from a host plant.

It has autotrophic mode of nutrition. Baobab trees take a long time to mature. Each seed only yields 5% oil which is why baobab oil is so rare and precious. The tree itself is going to be endangered and will lose much of their available habitat in the next 70 years due to climate change and human development. The Baobab tree has chlorophyll cells underneath the top layer of bark so it can synthesize.

It Has a Autotrophic mode of nutrition. The Mangrove tree has chlorophyll hence can perform photosynthesis. Mangroves are unique because they are a gift of the tides along low-lying tropical and occasionally subtropical coastal areas. Mangroves need to be able to breathe in wet and spongy mud as well as water, so their root structures have adapted to do so.

Hence depend on insects for their nitrogen compound for growth. hence their a heterotroph. They are rare and unique. They get their nutrition from insects, after converting them into a form they can digest or absorb. Pitcher plants have distinctive adaptations for living in nutrient-poor soils.

It has Is a heterotroph mode of nutrition. To survive in such competitive habitats, kauris have developed a number of important adaptations. For example, many species possess smooth, gray, peeling bark, which helps them to shed parasitic plants. Adaptation to nutrient-poor soils is one way that slow-growing conifers like kauri can compete successfully with faster-growing broadleaved trees. A network of fine feeder or surface roots run up from the laterals into the thick layer of litter in the forest to absorb nutrients. Here Is a Kauri tree. ]]> 2021-05-08 07:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/anikajignu555/oi4u263qidpt4oxq/wish/1504702341
