Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food for the biosphere.

This term comes from the Greek terms:
Auto- meaning "self" and Troph- meaning "feeding or growth"
So autotroph quite literally means "to feed oneself". Autotrophs, for the most part, use photosynthesis from sunlight to produce their own sugars.
Plants are the primary autotrophs on Earth!

Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

Why do you think there is a basic difference between the kinds of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animals?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The basic difference between the kind of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animal is that terrestrial animal lay their sperm into the environment to fertilize eggs, while aquatic animals lay their eggs in the water bodies in order to carry out the process of fertilization, because the sperm of aquatic animals need water as a medium in order to travel and meet the egg present in the water bodies so that fertilization can occur.
