What do chemotrophic bacteria use to get energy?
Chemotrophic bacteria are organisms that can obtain energy by the oxidation of electrons.
Photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules?
Bacteria that obtain their energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules, rather than obtaining energy from the sun, are called chemoautotrophic. In general, organisms, that obtain their energy from sunlight are called photoautotrophs.
What are three different ways bacteria can obtain energy?
Bacteria can obtain energy from a variety of sources:Photosynthesis: Yes! its not only plants that perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is also done by some bacteria which have chloroplasts.Chemosynthesis: Some bacteria can use chemicals like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) instead of water and carry out metabolic reactions to generate energy.Heterotrophy: This is by far the most common form of obtaining energy. In this, the bacteria obtain energy from nutrients like the food that we eat or other sources like cellulose (as in leaves), carbohydrates (as in cereals, etc), proteins (as in meat, etc) and lipids or fats (as in butter, ghee etc).
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 is heterotrophic bacteria?
Heterotrophic Bacteria is basically bacteria that has to consume something else to get its energy (cannot get energy from the sun).
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.
Does obatin and use energy have bacteria?
Yes, bacteria does obtain and use energy for locomotion.

How do bacteria obtain energy to carry out functions?
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.
Why do bacteria need energy?
Bacteria need energy to fuel cellular activities.
How bacteria obtain food and energy?

How do bacteria obtain the nutrients they need?
by water
How bacteria obtain the nutrients they need?
by water
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 did Cyano Bacteria obtain energy?
In ocean, fresh water& marine biomes
Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
