Shrimp, crabs, fish, tube worms, and octopi are the large organism that are feeding on chemosynthetic bacteria. They are creating a food chain of predator and prey relationship, the primary consumers are above the list.

What kind of organisms can be described described as chemosynthentic?
organisms that manufacture food from chemical energy
What is chemosynthetic bacteria?
Chemosynthetic bacteria means bacteria that can make chemical things (synthetic). Basically any bacteria are chemosynthetic - they all product different chemicals as part of their metabolism. There are methanogens that produce methane gas, there are photosynthetic organisms that produce oxygen (like plants, and the ancestry of plants), others can produce nitrogen gas, like those bacteria that live in nodules on legume plants. Other bacteria can produce acids from fermentation like proprionic acid which gives Swiss cheese its nutty flavor. So lots and lots of bacteria are chemosynthetic. It just depends on what you want to produce.
The two types of organisms are photosynthetic organisms and chemosynthetic organisms?
Autotrophs
What is a chemosythetic organism?
A chemosynthetic organism is an organism that obtains energy by converting inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or methane into organic matter through the process of chemosynthesis. These organisms are commonly found in environments devoid of sunlight, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents or cold seeps. Examples of chemosynthetic organisms include bacteria and archaea.
What do organisims living near hydrothermal vents get their energy from?
Special bacteria (chemosynthetic bacteria) live there which use the sulfur from the hydrothermal vents to make their own food. Other organisms, such as copepods (and other zooplankton), eat this bacteria. Other organisms, such as snails, shrimp, crabs, tube worms, and fish eat the copepods. Therefore, the number of organisms living in these vent systems are 10,000 times greater than areas in the ocean that do not have hydrothermal vents. These life forms would not be possible without the chemosynthetic bacteria, since sulfur is toxic to almost all other forms of life.

What role do chemosynthetic bacteria play in deep-sea volcanic-vent ecosystems?
It serves as a food source to organisms in the deep water
The two types of organisms are photosynthetic organisms and chemosynthetic organisms?
Autotrophs
Which is the correct order of organisms in terms of their appearance on Earth?
bacteria, trilobites, lizards, rhinoceros
What are chemosynthetic organisms?
Chemosynthetic organisms obtain their energy directly from raw chemicals in their environment. Examples of this include tubeworms living next to hydrothermal vents.
Is chemosynthetic bacteria a primary producer?
All chemeosynthetic organisms ar primary producers
Are decomposers bacteria that feed on dead organisms?
Yes they are.
Does chemosynthetic bacteria need sunlight to grow?
Chemosynthetic bacteria does not require sunlight to live and derives the nutrients from nonfood sources. Examples of chemosynthetic bacteria are lactobacillus and streptococcus.
