Where does bacteria get energy?
By feeding on other organisms. Some bacterias are also photosynthetic and are able to produce energy using sunlight. Others are also chemotrophic and are able to produce energy using inorganic chemicals.
Why do you think plant cells have chloroplasts and animal cells do not?
chloroplast is a organelle which helps in photosynthesis as it is having chlorophyll pigment responsible for this phenomena and as plant cell need to prepare their own food by photosynthesis so they do have chlorophyll in their cell on the other hand animal cell do not require it as they depend on plants for their food.
Where did the word 'Chemistry' come from?
the greek word chemo
Do I need Chemo if my white blood cell count is 20.4?
ask your doctor
How does the word chemo and synthesis relate to the meaning of the term chemosynthesis?
The word synthesis means to produce or generate something and the word chemo relates to something to chemicals and the term chemosynthesis refers to the production of energy by oxidization of chemicals.Hence the proposition.
Where do chemo synthetic bacteria get their energy?
Food and chemicals
Is Spirochete an autotroph?
No. A Spirochete is an organism from a phylum of bacteria (Spirochaetes) and is generally spiral in shape. An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food (generally by photosynthesis). The opposite of an autotroph is called a heterotroph. Spirochetes, like other bacteria, are heterotrophs. They are not able to produce their own food.
What is the mode of nutrition in rhizobium?
chemo heterotrophic-symbiotic-mutualistic
What Is chemo synthetic?
A chemosynthetic organism uses sulfur or other elements as a source of energy.
Bacteria can obtain their nutrition by?
photosynthesis chemo synthesis hetero trophy

Do photosynthetic or chemo synthetic organisms require sunlight to live?
I Dont Know , Because You Guys Didnt Give Me The Answer "/ , Smh !
What are bacteria called that can make their own food without using the Suns energy?
Chemo-synthesizers.
What specific features do vent community have that support specific life?
The key components to the diversity of species on the hydrothermal vents (if that's what you're referring to) are the presence of chemo-synthetic archaea (basically, bacteria composed of molecules which can be turned into organic matter by the organisms that eat it) and dissolved minerals.
What are term chemo taxis?
it is a type of behaviour in which with help of flagella,flagellate bacteria can detect and move in response to chemical signals
Are bacteria autotrophic of heterotrophic?
An autotroph is an organism able to make its own food. Autotrophic organisms take inorganic substances into their bodies and transform them into organic nourishment. Autotrophs are essential to all life because they are the primary producers at the base of all food chains. There are two categories of autotrophs, distinguished by the energy each uses to synthesize food. Photoautotrophs use light energy; chemoautotrophs use chemical energy.Photoautotrophic organisms (e.g., green plants) have the capacity to utilize solar radiation and obtain their energy directly from sunlight.Until recently, scientists held there existed only a few kinds of bacteria that used chemical energy to create their own food. Some of these bacteria were found living near vents and active volcanoes on the lightless ocean floor. The bacteria create their food using inorganic sulfur compounds gushing out of the vents from the hot interior of the planet.In 1993, scientists found many new species of chemoautotrophic bacteria living in fissured rock far below the ocean floor. These bacteria take in carbon dioxide and water and convert the chemical energy in sulfur compounds to run metabolic processes that create carbohydrates and sugars. A unique characteristic of these chemoautotrophic bacteria is that they thrive at temperatures high enough to kill other organisms. Some scientists assert that these unique bacteria should be classified in their own new taxonomic kingdom.
