Example sentencesExamples
- These developmental differences between autotrophs and parasites suggest that the functions of photoreceptors differ among autotrophs, hemiparasites, and holoparasites.
- The kelps are an important group of marine autotrophs that has left little or nothing in the way of a direct fossil record.

Derivatives

autotrophic

adjective ˌɔːtəˈtrɒfɪkˌɔːtəˈtrəʊfɪk

Biology

Physiologically, plant conversion or seedling development involves a transition from the heterotrophic embryo to an autotrophic plant.
Example sentencesExamples
- Plants are sessile, autotrophic, and grow in an indeterminate and modular manner.
- These differences correlate with differentiated function as heterotrophic, autotrophic and transport pathway components of the leaf.
- Moreover, growth rate was deeply reduced during heterotrophic and autotrophic development.
- Recently there has been discussion about the metabolic state of the ocean, with arguments questioning whether the open ocean is net autotrophic or net heterotrophic.

autotrophy

noun

Biology

After greening and probable transition from heterotrophy to autotrophy, root growth rate was enhanced and growth followed a linear pattern.
Example sentencesExamples
- They consider that early achievement of autotrophy is a major feature of structures with a high degree of foliarization.
- This period is followed by post-germinative growth that leads to seedling establishment and the acquisition of autotrophy.
