Most plants are photoautotrophs; that is, they make their own "food" using light energy and chemicals, not other organisms. 1. They draw nutrients/minerals from soil (usually). 2/3. Look at the chemical equation for photosynthesis. The reactants are non-living molecules that are incorporated into the plant.
