This requires oxygen. 3. The end products we carbon dioxide and water. 4. Complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose produces a net of 38 ATP molecules. 5. Reactions of glycolysis occur in cytoplasm, [...]

The following points highlight the top four types of heterotrophic plants. The types are: 1. Parasites 2. Saprophytes 3. Symbionts 4. Insectivorous Plants. Heterotrophic Plants: Type # 1. Parasites: The total parasites, like dodder (Cuscuta) and broomrape (Orobanche) are never green and cannot synthesize their own food. In such cases, they develop haustoria or sucking roots which go into the [...]
