Desulfovibrio is primarily classified as a chemoheterotroph. These bacteria obtain their energy by oxidizing organic compounds and require organic carbon sources for growth. While some members of the genus can utilize sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration, they do not synthesize their own organic compounds from inorganic sources, which distinguishes them from chemoautotrophs.
What else can I help you with?
Do chemoautotrophs do photosynthesis?
No they do not .They use chemical energy and CO2
How do chemoautotrophs produce food?
Chemoautotrophs are able to produce their own food through a process called chemosynthesis, where they use inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia as sources of energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. This process does not require sunlight, as is seen in photosynthesis, making chemoautotrophs uniquely adapted to survive in environments without sunlight, such as deep sea vents or caves.
Do chemoautotrophs gain energy by oxidizing or reducing substances in their environment?
Chemoautotrophs gain energy by oxidizing substances in their environment. This process involves breaking down chemical compounds and harvesting the released energy to support their metabolism and growth.
What is the difference between autotrophs and chemoautotrophs?
Autotroph means that it can produce its own food. Chemoautotroph, also called chemotroph, is a type of autotroph that can make organic materials from inorganic chemical compounds in places such as black smokers in the bottom of the oceans.
What bacteria lives in a hostile environment?
chemoautotrophs live in very harsh environments.
Are fish chemoautotrophs?
No, Chemoautotrophs are Microorganisms (Bacteria).Search Chemoautotrophs on Wikipedia for more details.
Which organism is not correctly matched to its energy source a. photoheterotroph-light b. photoautotroph- CO2 c. chemoautotroph- fe2 plus d. chemoheterotroph-glucose e.chemoautotroph-nh3?
e. chemoautotroph-nh3. Chemoautotrophs use inorganic chemicals such as H2S or NH3 as an energy source, not NH3.
Is Escherichia coli a chemoheterotroph?
yes!
The term chemoheterotroph refers to what characteristic of prokaryotes?
mode of nutrition
Are animals chemoautotrophs?
No, animals are not chemoautotrophs. Chemoautotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic compounds, whereas animals are heterotrophs that obtain energy by consuming organic matter.
Could chemoautotrophs survive on the moon?
Bu no
Where would chemoautotrophs live?
up your nose
Three kinds of autotrophs?
photoautotrophs chemoautotrophs lithoautotrophs
Are prokaryotes autotrophs?
They can be, Photoautorophs, Photoheterotrophs, Chemoautotrophs or Chemoheterotrophs
Do chemoautotrophs do photosynthesis?
No they do not .They use chemical energy and CO2

What are the similarities and differences of chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs?
Chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs are both types of autotrophic organisms that can produce their own food. The main difference is that chemoautotrophs obtain energy from chemical compounds, while photoautotrophs use light energy to create food via photosynthesis. Both types play important roles in ecosystems by contributing to nutrient cycling and supporting other organisms in the food chain.
