Which organisms don't depend on other organisms for food?
They are Autotrophs.
Is clostridium perfringens autotrophic heterotrophic or chemotrophic?
heterotrophic
What are organisms that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals called?
Green plants and some bacteria can capture energy from sunlight and chemicals respectively.
How do blue green bacteria differ from other bacteria?
Blue green bacteria are organisms in the phylum Cyanophyta. They used to be called blue green algae, but since their cells do not have nuclei they are now classified as bacteria. They are common in every aquatic or damp environment and some species can cause toxic blooms.
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.
Which term describes how person gets energy?
Chemotrophic
What term describes how a person gets energy?
chemotrophic
Which term describes how a person gets energy?
Chemotrophic
What are the strategies organisms use to get energy from their environment?
either eat sunlight directly (photosynthesis)or eat sunlight indirectly (eat plants, or eat animals which have eaten plants etc etc)or derive nutrients from stone (lithotrophic bacteria) or chemicals (chemotrophic bacteria)or derive nutrients and heat from hot ocean vents at the bottom of the sea
Does obatin and use energy have bacteria?
Yes, bacteria does obtain and use energy for locomotion.
Which organisms don't depend on other organisms for food?
They are Autotrophs.
What does bacteria receive energy from?
Different types of bacteria acquire energy from different sources. For example, Cyanobacteria, some purple and green bacteria, get energy from light. Most bacteria use organic compounds for energy. Most bacteria are saprobic and get energy from dead organic matter .
Where does bacteria get energy?
By feeding on other organisms. Some bacterias are also photosynthetic and are able to produce energy using sunlight. Others are also chemotrophic and are able to produce energy using inorganic chemicals.
What are types of bacteria use light for energy?
Several species of bacteria use light for energy. Some of them include groups such as green sulfur bacteria, green nonsulfur bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, purple nonsulfur bacteria, cyanobacteria (aka blue green algae) and many individuals from the genus Rhodobacter.
What do bacteria that are saprophytes use as a food and energy source?
nitrogen
What are the chemicals that bacteria use to produce and store energy?
photosynthesis
Bacteria that use sunlight as an energy source are considered?
Chemoautotrophs
