Autotrophs: an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
Heterotroph: an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
Saprophytes: a plant, fungus, or microorganism that lives on dead or decaying organic matter.
Parasites: an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.
Stomata: any of the minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of variable width which allows movement of gases in and out of the intercellular spaces.
Symbiosis: interaction between two different organisms living in a close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.
