Chemotrophs are also known as bacteria or archaea that live in hostile environments such as deep sea vents and they are the primary producers in these ecosystems only! Hope this helps! :) xxx

What is the big group bacteria?
Chemotrophs are the largest taxonomic group of bacteria. Chemotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments.
What kingdom is chemotrophs?
I think maybe it is kingdom Monera.
How would a cluster of bacteria be called?
The large population of bacteria is called syndrome.
How is an autotroph different from a chemotroph?
An autotroph uses co2 as primary carbon source where as chemotroph uses chemicals as primary energy source. Chemotrophs also require a source of organic nutrient, and autotrophs would be considered a photosynthesizer.
Unlike photoautotrophs chemoautotrophs obtain energy by?
Photosynthesis for phototrophs, or chemosynthesis for chemotrophs.
Where do chemotrophs get energy?
By the oxidation of electron donors in their environment. They live in hostile environments where they get energy from sulfur, iron etc.
What is the difference between chemotrophs and chemolithotrophs?
The difference is the way they obtain energy. Chemotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments. These molecules can be organic (chemoorganotrophs) or inorganic (chemolithotrophs). Photoheterotrophs are heterotrophic organisms that use light for energy, but cannot use carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source.
Is a beet a producer?
Yes, Beets are "Producers" Most plants are autotrophic, meaning they "produce" harness some nonliving form of energy to make their own nutrients from raw materials, e.g. CO2 and water. Entities in ecosystems are categorized in major groups of Producer vs. Consumer. There are subgroups such as Chemotrophs, Parasites, Carnivores, Herbivores, Symbionts, Omnivores, Decomposers, etc.
What is a chemotroph?
Organisms that feed off chemicals, and digest chemicals in order to get their nutrients to live. Like we need food and water to survive.All known living things are either chemotrophs or phototrophs.Some chemotrophs live at the bottom of the ocean, eating energy-rich compounds that come out of the earth at hot hydrothermal vents and at cold seeps.One Example is: a Box Turtle
List 5 producers in an ecosystem?
The five different types of producers are 1. Executive producer 2. Associate producer 3. Co-Producer 4. Line producer 5. Producer These aren't quite in order of their importance but these are the 5

Are bryozoans decomposers,producers or consumers?
Producers
