Chemoheterotrophs: unable to fix carbon and form their own organic compounds.It is a biological term for an organism that derives energy and carbon from the oxidation of preformed organic compounds. These include fungi, which do not have chloroplasts to use photosynthesis.

Desulfovibrio is primarily classified as a chemoheterotroph. These bacteria obtain their energy by oxidizing organic compounds and require organic carbon sources for growth. While some members of the genus can utilize sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration, they do not synthesize their own organic compounds from inorganic sources, which distinguishes them from chemoautotrophs.
All animals are chemoheterotrophs. Animals survive by consuming plants or other animals. Energy is obtained from organic compounds that have oxidized.
chemoautotroph
l- glucose can be used as a sweetners. they can be use in colon movement acting as a laxatives. moreover they can also be used as a theraputic agent by stimulating insulin during type II Diabetes.
Kingdom Animalia are chemoheterotroph in terms of their mode of nutrition. They consume organic compounds, carbonically for energy sources.
e. chemoautotroph-nh3. Chemoautotrophs use inorganic chemicals such as H2S or NH3 as an energy source, not NH3.
Euglenids are primarily known as photosynthetic organisms due to their chloroplasts, allowing them to perform photosynthesis. However, they are also considered chemoheterotrophs because they can obtain nutrients by absorbing organic compounds from their environment, particularly when light is scarce. This dual ability enables them to thrive in various habitats, adapting to different nutritional conditions.
Photo and Chemo in Heterotrophs refer to their way of eating and gathering nutrition. If it using light for energy, it is a photoheterotroph. If it gets its energy from inorganic/organic compounds, it is an chemoheterotroph.
Archaea obtain energy through various ways, including photosynthesis, breaking down organic matter through fermentation, or using inorganic compounds like sulfur or hydrogen as energy sources. Some archaea also derive energy from extreme environments, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
