Photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules?

Yes, photosynthetic bacteria use a process called anoxygenic photosynthesis to obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules. This process allows them to generate ATP and reduce electron carriers to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis.


How are chemosynthetic bacteria from photosynthetic bacteria?

Chemosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic compounds, while photosynthetic bacteria use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. Both groups of bacteria play important roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning, but they utilize different energy sources.


What are non-photosynthetic?

Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.


What are non photosynthetic?

Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.


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.


Bacteria that do not require sunlight and obtain energy by removing electrons from hydrogen-rich chamicals are called?

Chemoautotrophs. They use inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia as energy sources to produce their own food. These bacteria do not require sunlight for energy production.


Do photoautotrophs produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules?

Technically sunlight would be an inorganic material so it would be yes to both. In general, autotrophs make their own molecules using inorganic materials. Phototrophs, a subset of autotrophs, use sunlight specifically to make their organic molecules


Are prokaryotes mostly heterotrophic?

In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)


What do photosynthetic bacteria not have that other bacteria do?

chlorophyll


Uses energy from sunlight to make food molecules?

Phototroph or photoautotroph...basically plants and photosynthetic bacteria


Are Plants the only photosynthetic organisms?

No, there are some photosynthetic protists and some photosynthetic bacteria.


Is beggiatoa a heterotroph?

Yes, it is. It is a chemolithotrophic heterotrophs.
