Heterotrophic bactera are saprobes (they absorb dead organic material like rotting flesh). Some of these parasitic bacteria kill their host while others help their host. Autotrophic bacteria make their own food, either by photosynthesis (which uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make food) or by chemosynthesis (which uses carbon dioxide, water and chemicals like ammonia to make food - these bacteria are called nitrogen fixers and include the bacteria found living in legume roots and in ocean vents).

What are three ways in which bacteria obtains food?
1) consume other organisims or the food other organisims make 2) use the energy from chemical substances in their environment to make their food. 3) capture and use the sun's energy as plats do
What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria cannot do?
cyanobacteria uses sunlight and obtain energy to make there food (otherwise known as photosynthesis), when other bacteria do not obtain the enery of photosynthesis
How do fungi and bacteria obtain food?
Fungi are heterophs,the obtain carbon from organic materials mainly by secreting extracellular enzymes and absorbing digested food or having symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic partners. Bacteria can be photoautotrops,photoheterophs,chemoautotrophs,chemoheterophs
How do you think these bacteria obtain food and energy?
They are anaerobes and do not need oxygen. They are consumers and make energy by fermentation.
How bacteria obtain food and energy?
Like all organisms, bacteria need a constant supply of energy to carry out their functions. This energy comes from food The process of breaking down food to release its energy is called respiration.
What are two ways autotrphic bacteria eat food?
They are not taking C from others. They obtain CO2 from atmosphere mainly
Do bacteria obtain food?
yes
Do bacteria obtain food and reproduce the way fungi do?
no
What is the most popular means by which bacteria obtain food?

What bacteria get food in two ways?
eubacteria
How do heterotrophic bacteria obtain food?
Consuming autotrophs and other heterotrophs.
Do bacteria obtain food and reproduce like the way fungi do?
yes
How does spirogyra obtain food?
I think bacteria eats it.
Do bacteria make their own food or find food?
It depends on the type. Most bacteria must obtain nourishment but some are capable of photosynthesis.
What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria cannot do?
cyanobacteria uses sunlight and obtain energy to make there food (otherwise known as photosynthesis), when other bacteria do not obtain the enery of photosynthesis
How do bacteria obtain the energy they need?
=== === There are some bacteria that can make their own food like an autotroph can.
