The two types of organisms are photosynthetic organisms and chemosynthetic organisms?
Photosynthetic organisms use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, while chemosynthetic organisms use inorganic compounds to produce energy. Photosynthetic organisms include plants, algae, and some bacteria, while chemosynthetic organisms can be found in environments such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
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.
What and how do organisms use sunlight energy trapped in plants?
This energy is stored in glucose. Plants synthesize many things using glucose energy. Other organisms consume plants basically
What are two ways protists are like plants?
they trap the suns energy and produce sugars
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.

Plants autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Plants are autotrophic. This means they make their own food. Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, because they make their energy from sunlight. This is in contrast to chemosynthetic autotrophs found near hydrothermal vents which produce their energy from chemicals.
What organisms are the producers in the energy flow of an ecosystem?
Producers in an ecosystem are usually plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. They are able to convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis, which forms the basis of the food chain by providing energy to other organisms.
How do organisms utilized the stored energy from green plants?
how do organisms utilize the stored energy from green plants
Is the North American mastodon an autotroph?
No: an autotroph is an organism that gets its energy without consuming other organisms (auto = self, troph = feed), whether plants or animals. In order to grow, autotrophs need a "food" source, just like the rest of us. They most commonly use sunlight (plants), and sometimes chemical reactions (chemosynthetic bacteria, for example). A mastodon eats plants, plants are organisms, so a mastodon is an herbivore, but not an autotroph.

What is the ultimate source of energy for most organisms and how is this energy captured so it is useful in a food chain?
The ultimate source of energy for most organisms is the Sun. This energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in sugars. Other organisms then consume these plants (or organisms that eat the plants) to obtain energy and nutrients.
Along with plants and algae which organisms can photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis can also occur in certain types of bacteria, such as cyanobacteria. These organisms are capable of converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis, similar to plants and algae.
Some single-celled organisms are more similar to plants than to animals because they can?
perform photosynthesis to produce their own food, similar to how plants do. Some single-celled organisms, like algae, contain chloroplasts that allow them to capture sunlight and convert it into energy through photosynthesis, a characteristic shared with plants.
