Chemoautotrophic
Bacteria generate energy through a process called fermentation, which does not require mitochondria. In fermentation, bacteria break down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Photosynthetic bacteria, like plants, are photoautotrophs, meaning they utilize sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce food. These type of bacteria will eventually die without the presence of sunlight.
Chemoautotrophic bacteria break down inorganic compounds such as sulfur, ammonia, or iron to obtain energy. These bacteria use chemical reactions instead of sunlight to produce energy through a process called chemosynthesis.
Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs. They can convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis (plants, algae) or obtain energy through chemosynthesis (some bacteria).
Organisms that make their own energy are called autotrophs. They can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, without needing to consume other organisms. Examples include plants, algae, and some bacteria.

Anaerobic

Chemo-synthesizers.
False. While some bacteria are aerobic and require oxygen to break down food for energy (a process called cellular respiration), there are also anaerobic bacteria that can produce energy without the presence of oxygen through fermentation or other alternative pathways.
Chemoautotrophic bacteria break down inorganic compounds such as sulfur, ammonia, or iron to obtain energy. These bacteria use chemical reactions instead of sunlight to produce energy through a process called chemosynthesis.
Cells that make their own energy are called "autotrophic cells." These cells use processes like photosynthesis (in plants) or chemosynthesis (in bacteria) to produce their own energy.
Bacteria can gain energy through processes like photosynthesis (using light to create energy), chemosynthesis (using inorganic compounds to create energy), and fermentation (breaking down organic compounds without oxygen). These processes allow bacteria to produce ATP, the cell's energy currency, to carry out essential functions.
