What is the difference between autotrophs and chemoautotrophs?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using sunlight or inorganic compounds as a source of energy, such as plants. Chemoautotrophs are a specific type of autotrophs that obtain their energy from the oxidation of inorganic chemicals, such as certain bacteria that live in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Essentially, while all chemoautotrophs are autotrophs, not all autotrophs are chemoautotrophs.
Why doesn't photorespiration occur in chemoautotrophs?
Photorespiration doesn't happen because of this spatial separation. Chemoautotrophs are found in the deep sea. Autotrophs make their own food.
Where do organisms that make their own food get their energy from?
By making them from inorganic things. Only the autotrophs can produce their own food. These organisms are put into two catagories: the chemoautotrophs, and the photoautotrophs. The chemoautotrophs make food (organic substances) from non-organic compounds such as chemical. These organisms are usually in dark places where light doesn't penetrate through. The photoautotrophs make food from sunlight through a process known as photosynthesis. These organisms must be in a presence of sunlight otherwise they cannot produce food.
What will happen if human beings become autotrophs?
Instead of eating, we would produce our own food by means of inorganic compounds which would make us chemoautotrophs, or the sun which would make us photoautotrophs..
Two groups of prokaryotes that make their own food from inorganic molecules are?
Photoautotrophs and Chemoautotrophs

Are fish chemoautotrophs?
No, Chemoautotrophs are Microorganisms (Bacteria).Search Chemoautotrophs on Wikipedia for more details.

What does a producer make food from?
usually the sun but chemoautotrophs do it using nutrients from sulphur vents

Why are chemoautotrophs rare among familiar organisms?
Chemoautotrphs are rare among other familiar organisms because they do not compete well with other organisms and they are not important in the sun-lit, carbon-rich environments which we are familiar with.
Which types of organisms produce the biosphere's food supply?
producers or autotrophs and consumers or hetrotrophs
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
Could chemoautotrophs survive on the moon?
Bu no
