" able to convert the water, nutrients and carbon dioxide into the energy..."

"This particular orchid is a myco-heterotroph as it relies completely on the broom honeymyrtle and fungus for its nutrients and carbon dioxide. Having received this from the fungus the plant is then able to convert the water, nutrients and carbon dioxide into the energy needed for growth and maintenance."

Should this read carbon, rather than carbon dioxide, otherwise doesn't this require photosynthesis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.104.72 (talk) 13:55, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it should read carbon or oxygen. Carbon dioxide is only used in photosynthesis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.105.48.10 (talk) 13:53, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
