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.

What do vent tubeworms and chemosynthetic bacteria get from there close relationship?
They get food
Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
What organisms feed on chemosynthetic bacteria?
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.
Why is chemosynthetic bacteria a parasite?
These are not parasites. These are autotrophs and make their own food just like plants do except they use chemicals instead. There are methanobacteria, sulfur bacteria which live along deep sea hydrothermic vents, and nitrogen bacteria.
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 are examples of chemosynthetic bacteria?
Sulphur bacteria and iron bacteria.
What do vent tubeworms and chemosynthetic bacteria get from there close relationship?
They get food
What type bacteria break down inorganic compounds for energy?
Chemosynthetic
Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
What organisms feed on chemosynthetic bacteria?
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.
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.
What does a polychaete worm eat?
this kind of worm feeds on chemosynthetic bacteria around the hydrothermal vents
Do All bacteria use light energy to fix carbon?
No many prokaryotic cells can use inorganic chemical compounds (S and Fe) in chemosynthetic processes to fix Carbon into organic molecules - Some chemosynthetic prokaryotes are Archaeans and some are in the Domain Bacteria
How plants food without the aid of sunlight?
only a few chemosynthetic bacteria sustain their life without sunlight
How plants make food without the aid of sunlight?
only a few chemosynthetic bacteria sustain their life without sunlight
Which is the correct order of organisms in terms of their appearance on Earth?
bacteria, trilobites, lizards, rhinoceros
How many plants make food without the aid of sunlight?
only a few chemosynthetic bacteria sustain their life without sunlight
