Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
What are non-photosynthetic?
Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
Are Plants the only photosynthetic organisms?
No, there are some photosynthetic protists and some photosynthetic bacteria.
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.
What are the major groups of photosynthetic bacteria?
The four groups of photosynthetic bacteria are brownish nonsulfur, green sulfur, purple sulfur, and purple nonsulfur bacteria. Bacteria constitute a significant domain of what are referred to as prokaryotic microorganisms.
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.
Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
What are non photosynthetic?
Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
What are non-photosynthetic?
Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
What is an organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules?
saprobiotic organisms. many are bacteria or fungi
Do photoautotrophs produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules?
Technically sunlight would be an inorganic material so it would be yes to both. In general, autotrophs make their own molecules using inorganic materials. Phototrophs, a subset of autotrophs, use sunlight specifically to make their organic molecules
Are prokaryotes mostly heterotrophic?
In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)
Uses energy from sunlight to make food molecules?
Phototroph or photoautotroph...basically plants and photosynthetic bacteria
What do photosynthetic bacteria not have that other bacteria do?
chlorophyll
Are Plants the only photosynthetic organisms?
No, there are some photosynthetic protists and some photosynthetic bacteria.
What are methanogenic bacteria and how do they produce methane?
NO bacteria are methanogenic, archaea are methanogenic. And they produce it through a process called chemolithoautotrophy, where they break down the inorganic molecules into energy.
Is a Photosynthetic a decomposer?
Yes, bacteria are decomposers. Note: If you search decomposer in the search box it will give more detail
