Question

Which of the following eukaryotic organisms is both autotrophic and heterotrophic?
A)yeast
B)humans
C)Venus fly trap
D)redwood trees
E)mushrooms

Accepted Answer

Venus fly traps are plants that can photosynthesize and produce their own food, but they can also capture and digest insects to obtain nutrients. This makes them both autotrophic and heterotrophic. The other options listed are strictly either autotrophic (redwood trees) or heterotrophic (yeast, humans, mushrooms).
