What does a prokaryote eat?

Answer 1

Basically, these organisms use photosynthesis or organic compounds for energy. However, they may gather energy from inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. Nutritional sources vary by type of prokaryote.

Answer 2

Prokaryotes obtain nutrients through various means, including absorbing nutrients from their environment, such as through osmosis, or by engulfing other cells (phagocytosis). They can metabolize a wide range of compounds, from sugars and amino acids to minerals. Some prokaryotes are autotrophic and can synthesize their own food using sunlight or inorganic compounds.

Answer 3

Normally, prokaryotes eat burgers and chips from the nearest takeaway. They never have pickles though, otherwise they could get seriously ill.
