What process do most autotrophic bacteria do for their nutritional needs?

Most autotrophic bacteria obtain their nutritional needs through photosynthesis, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Some autotrophic bacteria may also use chemosynthesis, a process where they derive energy from inorganic compounds to synthesize organic molecules.


What is the scientific and common name of autotrophic bacteria?

The scientific name for autotrophic bacteria is "Autotrophs" and the common name is "Self-feeding bacteria." Autotrophic bacteria are able to synthesize their own food using inorganic compounds, sunlight, or chemical reactions.


Is autotrophic the majority of bacteria?

No, autotrophic bacteria are not the majority of bacteria. The majority of bacteria are actually heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their carbon and energy from organic molecules produced by other organisms. Autotrophic bacteria, on the other hand, are capable of producing their own organic molecules using sunlight or inorganic compounds as a source of energy.
