Solution

Conventional (noncarnivorous) plants are clearly autotrophs. They require water, CO2, light, and simple mineral nutrients to survive. "Heterotrophs" are life forms that require complex organic molecules that have been preprocessed by other life forms. ... Parasitic and mycotrophic plants are heterotrophs.
