Some chemosynthetic bacteria live in very remote places on Earth, such as volcanic vents on the deep-ocean floor and hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Other live in more common places, such as tidal marshes along the coast.

Does chemosynthetic bacteria need sunlight to grow?

No, chemosynthetic bacteria do not need sunlight to grow. Instead of using sunlight for energy, they use chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide or methane to produce their own food in the absence of light.

Why do bacteria make their own food?

Some bacteria(not all) are autotrophic bacteria which means that they can make their own food.These bacteria can be separated into two groupsphotosynthetic bacteriachemosynthetic bacteriaphotosynthetic bacteria contains bacteriochlorophyll which is dispersed in their cytoplasm and so they are able to make their organic food by the process of photosynthesis.e.g green sulphur bacteria,purple sulphur bacteria etcchemosynthetic bacteria oxidize inorganic compounds like ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,sulphur or iron and trap the energy and prepare their food.e.g nitrifying bacteria are chemosynthetic.


What organisms feed on chemosynthetic bacteria?

Shrimp, crabs, fish, tube worms, and octopi are the large organism that are feeding on chemosynthetic bacteria. They are creating a food chain of predator and prey relationship, the primary consumers are above the list.


Why is chemosynthetic bacteria a parasite?

These are not parasites. These are autotrophs and make their own food just like plants do except they use chemicals instead. There are methanobacteria, sulfur bacteria which live along deep sea hydrothermic vents, and nitrogen bacteria.


Some deepsea bacteria live near submerged volcanoes and make their own food using energy derived from minerals coming from the volcanoes These bacteria would be classified as?

autotrophic, because they make their own food!!


What do vent tubeworms and chemosynthetic bacteria get from there close relationship?

Vent tubeworms provide a stable environment and chemical compounds for chemosynthetic bacteria to thrive while the bacteria convert chemicals from the hydrothermal vent into energy for the tubeworms. This symbiotic relationship allows both organisms to obtain essential nutrients and energy from an otherwise harsh environment.


Can an aerobic bacterium be chemosynthetic?

Yes. Aerobic and anaerobic deal with how the organism converts its food into useful energy. Chemosynthetic deals with how the organism gets the food to begin with. Thus, the bacterium can make the food chemosynthetically and then convert it to useable energy aerobically. If you're using this for Biology 1 or 2.. Shame on you! You're cheating!


What is chemosynthetic bacteria?

Chemosynthetic bacteria means bacteria that can make chemical things (synthetic). Basically any bacteria are chemosynthetic - they all product different chemicals as part of their metabolism. There are methanogens that produce methane gas, there are photosynthetic organisms that produce oxygen (like plants, and the ancestry of plants), others can produce nitrogen gas, like those bacteria that live in nodules on legume plants. Other bacteria can produce acids from fermentation like proprionic acid which gives Swiss cheese its nutty flavor. So lots and lots of bacteria are chemosynthetic. It just depends on what you want to produce.
