An example of an inorganic compound would be sodium chloride, also called table salt; this is commonly used in cooking and food preparation. An example of an organic compound would be isopropyl alcohol, also called rubbing alcohol; this is commonly used as a first aid antiseptic.

Autotroph
They oxidize inorganic compounds as a source of energy.ORChemoautotrophic bacteria uses energy produced by oxidizing or reducing chemical substances. The energy released from oxidation or reduction is used to synthesize organic compounds. Hence they don't need sunlight.This chemosynthesis does not and this is how it differs from photosynthesis.

An inorganic compound is a compound that doesnÃ?t contain carbon. Many of these compounds are important for us to live, including water and oxygen.
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).
Autotroph
Plants do this.
they are unable to synthesize organic nutrients from inorganic raw materialsThey are unable to synthesize organic nutrients from inorganic raw materials.they are unable to synthesize organic materials from inorganic raw materialsA heterotroph is an organism that cannot fix carbon and uses organic carbon for growth.[1] This contrasts with autotrophs, such as plants and algae, which can use energy from sunlight (photoautotrophs) or inorganic compounds (lithoautotrophs) to produce organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxideIt would likely to be a combination of a plant and an animal.

Organic substances contain Carbon - {Tibetan receipts were regarded as Sacred and as such were 'Buried' in hillside cave enscourments} - Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of the Compounds of Carbon, and Biochemistry uses the Macromolecular aspect of organic chemistry to build Cells and Life. The first inorganic Elements that present themselves are Hydrogen and Oxygen. The second group of inorganic compounds that appear are the Salts - sodium and potassium atoms alongside chlorine primarily. Next are the inorganic Ions - Calcium, Iron, and Note the list is extensive.

Scientists do not consider plants to be fungi. Plants are autotrophic organisms that are able to synthesize new organic compounds from inorganic carbon (usually in the form of carbon dioxide) utilizing the energy found in sunlight. This is preformed in specialized organelles called chloroplasts and uses pigments called chlorophyll. Fungi are heterotrophic, which means they are unable to turn inorganic carbon into organic carbon and must derive all of their energy by breaking down organic compounds produced by other organisms.
