With out light they cannot carry out the everyday occurance of photosyntesis. If the choice was mine, I would place them into violet light, because almost none of it would be reflected.
2. Explain the statement: "Without autotrophic organisms, heterotrophic lofe would cease to exist."

Without them many heterotrops would die from starvation.
