What is the process by which an autotroph obtains energy from inorganic compounds instead of light is called what?
Most autotophs that live in environments that have no light rely on chemosynthesis to synthesize energy storing molecules (mostly as carbohydrates). Many chemosynthesizers live near hyrdrotermal vents and use the hydrogensulfide emitted by the vents to "fuel" the chemical processes of chemosynthesis.
Is a rotifer a heterotroph or a autotroph?
A rotifer is a heterotroph.All animals are! To qualify as an autotroph, an organism must be able to make its own sugars and other organic substances from inorganic substances. Green plants can do this, and some bacteria have various ways of doing it, but no animal can.
Is vibrio cholerae autotroph or heterotroph?
Vibrio cholerae is a heterotrophic bacterium, meaning it obtains its energy and carbon from organic compounds in its environment rather than through photosynthesis.
How do heterotrophic bacteria obtain energy?
Obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules. Heterotrophs are unable to synthesize organic carbon-based compounds independently from the inorganic environment's sources (e.g. Animalia, unlike Plantae, cannot photosynthesize) and therefore must obtain their nutrition from another heterotroph or an autotroph.
What does a chemoautotroph do to obtain energy for its survival?
A chemoautotroph obtains energy for survival by using inorganic compounds as a source of energy, rather than sunlight. This process is known as chemosynthesis.

Is a lactobacillus acidophilus heterotroph or autotroph?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a heterotroph, meaning it obtains carbon from organic compounds. It is unable to produce its own organic molecules from inorganic sources.
What is chemolithotrophs?
an organism that obtains its energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds
What is the organism that obtains nourishment through the oxidation of inorganic chemical compounds as opposed to photosynthesis called?
The organism that obtains nourishment through the oxidation of inorganic chemical compounds is called a chemotroph. This method of obtaining energy is known as chemosynthesis.
An organism that obtains its nutrients from detritus?
Detritus
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.

What is an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials?
Heterotoph
Is vibrio cholerae autotroph or heterotroph?
Vibrio cholerae is a heterotrophic bacterium, meaning it obtains its energy and carbon from organic compounds in its environment rather than through photosynthesis.
What is an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot syntheize organic compounds from inorganic materials?
I believe it is an heterotroph.
Is a hawk an autotroph?
No. An autotroph (auto = self; troph = nutrition) is an organism that obtains the energy it needs to live and grow via energy from the sun (photoautotrophy) or energy stored in the chemical bonds of simple inorganic molecules (chemoautotrophy). An owl is regarded as a heterotroph (hetero = other) because it obtains the energy it needs to live and grow by consuming other living organisms, such as rodents.
How do heterotrophic bacteria obtain energy?
Obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules. Heterotrophs are unable to synthesize organic carbon-based compounds independently from the inorganic environment's sources (e.g. Animalia, unlike Plantae, cannot photosynthesize) and therefore must obtain their nutrition from another heterotroph or an autotroph.
