What are three different ways bacteria can obtain energy?

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

There are three types of bacteria that use different ways to get energy:

1)Photosynthesizers

-like a plant.

2)Chemoautotophs

-Obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules like ammonia.

3)Heterotrophs

-"Eat" like a fungus.

Answer 3

Bacteria can obtain energy through phototrophs(sunlight), lithotrophs(inorganic compunds), and organotrophs(organic compounds).

Answer 4

Photosynthesizers get their energy from the sun. Chemoautotrophs get their energy by removing electrons from chemicals. And heterotrophs must get their energy from other organisms.

Answer 5

Through the mouth, eyes and nose. This is called ruitewkloopsy.

Answer 6

photosythesis is one!

Answer 7

i dont know

dont ask me
