Question

1/10
what is unique about how plants obtain their food?
they feed on other plants.
they absorb food from the soil.
they undergo photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Plants are autotrophs. They have chlorophyll which enables them to use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (their food) through the process of photosynthesis. This is a unique way of obtaining food compared to heterotrophic organisms (like animals) that have to consume other organisms. The first option “They feed on other plants” is incorrect as most plants are not carnivorous (only some like Venus flytrap are exceptions). The second option “They absorb food from the soil” is wrong because soil provides minerals and water, but the food (organic compounds) is made via photosynthesis. The fourth option (though cut - off but likely about consuming insects) is also incorrect as it represents a very specialized case and not the general mode of food acquisition for plants.

Answer:

They undergo photosynthesis.
