Hello! Autotrophs make their own food (plants) and heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (consumers.) Autotrophs use the process of photosynthesis to produce the oxygen as one of its products. Heterotrophs use the oxygen produced by the autotrophs to perform cellular respiration, which releases carbon dioxide that plants use; it's a balanced cycle. Hope this helps!

Plants are referred to as autotrophs. Auto– means "self," and in this case, –troph means "feeding." Autotrophs are those organisms that make their own food. All plants are autotrophs, and so are algae and many bacteria. Organisms that are unable to produce glucose through photosynthesis are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophs obtain organic food molecules for energy and nutrition by eating other organisms or by eating and absorbing by-products of other organisms.

<h2>Answer </h2>
  • Hybridization
  • Recombinant DNA
  • Selective Breeding

<u>Explanation</u>

1. Cross-breeding; a method that unionizes gametes of differing genes to create a new individual is hybridization. It is the idea of combining atomic orbitals into different hybrid orbitals that is proper for the pairing of electrons to create chemical bonds in valence bond as per the atomic theory.

2. Cultured DNA molecules from different biological sources is recombinant DNA. They are the molecules are DNA molecules determining by laboratory techniques of genetic recombination to take mutually genetic material from various origins.

3. A process of breeding organisms because of their specific traits is selective breeding. It is the method that grants humans practice animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop selective over phenotypic traits
