Bacteria that use sunlight as an energy source are considered?
Chemoautotrophs
Bacteria that use chemicals like sulfur as an energy source are considered?
chemoautotrophs
Are fish chemoautotrophs?
No, Chemoautotrophs are Microorganisms (Bacteria).Search Chemoautotrophs on Wikipedia for more details.
Are producers considered consumers?
No because, the producers make food
What do producers mean in science?
stuff/ Green Plants capable of photosynthesis are considered as producers in science.
What organism make there own food?
Autotrophs. They can be photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs, such as the organisms living near hydrothermal vents.
Are animals are considered to be producers in the carbon cycle?
No. Animals are consumers. Plants are producers.
Do chemoautotrophs need sunlight to survive?
no
Are animals chemoautotrophs?
No. We aren't autotrophs at all (one partial autotrophic animal has been found to exist), but no only some archea are chemoautotrophs
How do chemoautotrophs increase productivity in photic and aphotic ecosystems?
Chemoautotrophs do not increase productivity in photic zones because they reside deep down on sea floors (abyssal zone) where no light penetrates. They are, however, active in the aphotic zone where no light from the sun is visible. There, these bacteria and protozoans take both organic and inorganic compounds provided by deep sea vents and become the "algae of the photic zone". Chemoautotrophs are the primary producers in the lower aphotic zone just like algae and phytoplankton is in the photic. The vital nutrients they provide depend on the type of chemoautotroph it is.
Could chemoautotrophs survive on the moon?
Bu no
Where would chemoautotrophs live?
up your nose
