Some bacteria(not all) are autotrophic bacteria which means that they can make their own food.These bacteria can be separated into two groups
- photosynthetic bacteria
- chemosynthetic bacteria
- photosynthetic bacteria contains bacteriochlorophyll which is dispersed in their cytoplasm and so they are able to make their organic food by the process of photosynthesis.e.g green sulphur bacteria,purple sulphur bacteria etc
- chemosynthetic bacteria oxidize inorganic compounds like ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,sulphur or iron and trap the energy and prepare their food.e.g nitrifying bacteria are chemosynthetic.

What is bacteria that has the ability to create their own food?
Autotrophs, just like flowers and grass, bacteria make their own food too! Bacteria are sometimes also heterotrophs as well. That means the oposite of aoutotrophs, they don't make their own food. Hope i helped :)
What bacteria does not make its own food?
heterotrophs
What do bacteria and plant cells have in common?
both are capable of dividing and making their own food
Why are the majority of bacteria considered heterotrophic?
Heterotrophic means " other eaters " which means these bacteria can not make their own food and much engulf it, whether other bacteria or plant like matter. Autotroph means " own food " and these bacteria preform photosynthesis.
Make their own food by extracting compounds from the ocean?
Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria. Its name comes from its color. Cyanobacteria make their own food by extracting compounds from the ocean.

Which bacteria cannot make its own food?
bacteria cannot make its own food because scientists think they arent alive
What bacteria does not make its own food?
heterotrophs
How do bacteria obtain the energy they need?
=== === There are some bacteria that can make their own food like an autotroph can.
Do bacteria make their own food?
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
What are bacteria called when they can make there own food?
They are autotrophic
What do bacteria and plant cells have in common?
both are capable of dividing and making their own food
Does bacteria make there own food?
Some do some don't
How do autotrophic bacteria make food?
Some bacteria are autotrophs and make their own food. Autotrophic bacteria make food in one of two ways. Some capture and use the sun's energy as plants do. Others, such as bacteria that live deep in mud, do not use the sun's energy. Instead, these bacteria use the energy from chemicals substances in their environment to make their food.
Does bacteriamake its own food?
Some bacteria, called autotrophs, make their own food from the carbon in CO2. Most bacteria are heterotrophs, taking their food 'ready-made' from other sources.
Bacteria and fungi do not make their own food Why?
Because they cannot photosynthesise.
Some deepsea bacteria live near submerged volcanoes and make their own food using energy derived from minerals coming from the volcanoes These bacteria would be classified as?
autotrophic, because they make their own food!!
