Are bacteria autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Both types of bacteria exist. Some are autotrophic while others are heterotrophic. Most autotrophic bacteria can synthesize their food from substances like hydrogen sulphide. This process is called chemosynthesis and involves the use of chemical substances for the production of energy. Heterotrophic bacteria, in contrast, cannot synthesize their own energy and must consume organic matter for energy. These include decomposing bacteria, or other groups of bacteria that may be symbiotic of parasitic in nature.
What are nonperishable food?
