chemoautotrophs
No, that description actually defines an autotroph, specifically a photoautotroph, which uses light energy to convert inorganic molecules into organic compounds. A heterotroph, on the other hand, is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must obtain organic compounds by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria.
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This means they can convert sunlight or inorganic compounds into organic molecules that serve as nutrients for the organism.
An organism that uses energy to produce its own food supply from inorganic compounds is called an autotroph (within a food chain, it is a producer).
Decomposer
The process that uses energy to combine inorganic molecules to synthesize organic molecules is known as photosynthesis. In this process, plants, algae, and some bacteria convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight as the energy source. This transformation occurs primarily in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where light energy is harnessed to drive the chemical reactions involved.
An organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules is called a chemosynthetic organism. These organisms convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide or ammonia into energy through chemical reactions, instead of relying on light for energy like photosynthetic organisms. Chemosynthetic organisms can be found in environments such as hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor.
The scientific term for an organism that makes its food from inorganic materials is autotroph. Autotrophs use energy from sunlight or inorganic compounds to produce organic molecules through a process called photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
An organism that is able to use a source of energy to produce food from simple inorganic molecules is called a autotroph. Autotrophs can convert sunlight (in the case of plants) or inorganic chemicals (in the case of certain bacteria) into energy through the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, respectively.
Autotrophic organisms, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, are able to synthesize organic molecules from inorganic raw materials through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms can convert energy from sunlight or inorganic substances into organic molecules that serve as food for themselves and other organisms.
The oxidation of inorganic molecules or methane.
an organism that obtains its energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds
An autotroph is an organism that is able to produce its own food using energy from sunlight or inorganic substances. Autotrophs are able to convert this energy into organic molecules through processes such as photosynthesis.
An autotrophic organism is one that can produce its food using inorganic compounds as a source of energy, typically through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This ability allows them to create organic molecules from simple substances without needing to consume other organisms.
well obviously an organism that produces itsown food is called aPRODUCER!!..OK NOT ANYTHING ELSE CAUSE THEN THAT WOULD BE A LIE!
No, that description actually defines an autotroph, specifically a photoautotroph, which uses light energy to convert inorganic molecules into organic compounds. A heterotroph, on the other hand, is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must obtain organic compounds by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria.
An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple inorganic molecules using energy from light (by photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). They are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water.
