What type of organism synthesizes organic molecules from inorganic raw materials?
Autotrophic organisms, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, are able to synthesize organic molecules from inorganic raw materials through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms can convert energy from sunlight or inorganic substances into organic molecules that serve as food for themselves and other organisms.
Is a Photosynthetic a decomposer?
Yes, bacteria are decomposers. Note: If you search decomposer in the search box it will give more detail
What are the kinds of photosynthetic bacteria?
The main types of photosynthetic bacteria are cyanobacteria, green sulfur bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, and purple non-sulfur bacteria. These bacteria use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy for growth and produce oxygen as a byproduct.
What is an organism that uses sunlight and inorganic substances to make organic compounds?
A plant is an example of an organism that uses sunlight and inorganic substances to make organic compounds through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of sugar that can be used as energy for the plant.
Is deeply buried soil bacteria photosynthetic?
No, deeply buried soil bacteria are typically not photosynthetic. They rely on organic matter for energy and are adapted to low-oxygen environments where photosynthesis is not possible.
Photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules is true or false?
True. Photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules through a process called photosynthesis. This allows them to generate ATP and ultimately produce organic compounds for their growth and metabolism.
How are chemosynthetic bacteria from photosynthetic bacteria?
Chemosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic compounds, while photosynthetic bacteria use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. Both groups of bacteria play important roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning, but they utilize different energy sources.
What are non-photosynthetic?
Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
What are non photosynthetic?
Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
What is an organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules?
An organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules is called a chemosynthetic organism. These organisms convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide or ammonia into energy through chemical reactions, instead of relying on light for energy like photosynthetic organisms. Chemosynthetic organisms can be found in environments such as hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor.
Bacteria that do not require sunlight and obtain energy by removing electrons from hydrogen-rich chamicals are called?
Chemoautotrophs. They use inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia as energy sources to produce their own food. These bacteria do not require sunlight for energy production.
Do photoautotrophs produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules?
Technically sunlight would be an inorganic material so it would be yes to both. In general, autotrophs make their own molecules using inorganic materials. Phototrophs, a subset of autotrophs, use sunlight specifically to make their organic molecules
Are prokaryotes mostly heterotrophic?
In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)
What do photosynthetic bacteria not have that other bacteria do?
chlorophyll
Uses energy from sunlight to make food molecules?
Phototroph or photoautotroph...basically plants and photosynthetic bacteria
Are Plants the only photosynthetic organisms?
No, there are some photosynthetic protists and some photosynthetic bacteria.
Is beggiatoa a heterotroph?
Yes, it is. It is a chemolithotrophic heterotrophs.
