No. They are heterotrophs just as you are. They are not usually green as photoautotrophs. They would not be close to the air to get sunlight.

How are photoautotrophs and photoheterotrophs?
Photoautotrophs: Bacteria that use sunlight as their energy source and carbon dioxide (as part of photosynthesis) as their carbon source. These bacteria thus obtain all their nourishment through photosynthesis Photoheterotrophs: Bacteria that use sunlight as their energy source and organic compounds from the environment as their carbon source.
What are organisms that photosynthesis?
Autotrophs.Plants.
Autotrophs that utilize light as their energy source are?
Photoautotrophs use light as the energy source for producing proteins, lipids and other organic substances. Examples of photoautotrophs are plants.
Were the first organisms that released oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis?
No, they were not Toxic was actually poinsonous to the Anaerobic photoautotrophs. However cyanobacteria (a.k.a pondscum) is believed to be the first bacteria to give off oxygen as a by-product of photosynthetic processes.
Are photosynthetic autotrophs chlorophyllous?
Not necessarily. Phytoplanktons are photoautotrophs but they do not contain chlorophyll
The main photoautotrophs in aquatic environments are?
algae and bacteria.
Some bacteria carry out photosynthesis in a manner similar to that of green plants and are called?
photoautotrophs
How are photoautotrophs and photoheterotrophs?

What is the main pigment of photoautotrophs?
Photoautotrophs are photosynthetic organisms.They mainly have chlorophyll.
Does photosynthetic bateria need sunlight to live?
Photosynthetic bacteria, like plants, are photoautotrophs, meaning they utilize sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce food. These type of bacteria will eventually die without the presence of sunlight.
What kinds of organism carry out photosynthesis?
autotrophs.plants have cellulose in their cell wall whwreas the cellwall of fungi is made up of chitin. plants carry photosynthesis. To be more specific, photoautotrophs. This includes every plant you can find. Also most prokaryotic cells (the most common prokaryotic cell is some sort of bacteria).
What organisms that perform photosynthesis to make their own food?
All plants, some protists and some bacteria can preform photosynthesis.
Photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules?
Bacteria that obtain their energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules, rather than obtaining energy from the sun, are called chemoautotrophic. In general, organisms, that obtain their energy from sunlight are called photoautotrophs.
What food making process is used by photoautotrophs?
Photoautotrophs use sunlight to make their food also called photosythesis
What reactants do photoautotrophs need for photosynthesis?
Photoautotrophs need water, carbon dioxide, and light energy in order to power photosynthesis.
What are organisms that photosynthesis?
Autotrophs.Plants.
Where do you most likely find a photoautotroph?
Photoautotrophs are plants etc, so wherever there are plants. Try a lawn or tree....
