Autotrophs
They oxidize inorganic compounds as a source of energy.ORChemoautotrophic bacteria uses energy produced by oxidizing or reducing chemical substances. The energy released from oxidation or reduction is used to synthesize organic compounds. Hence they don't need sunlight.This chemosynthesis does not and this is how it differs from photosynthesis.
Inorganic compounds generally do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, while organic compounds do. Inorganic compounds are typically simpler in structure and have fewer types of elements compared to organic compounds. Additionally, organic compounds are usually associated with living organisms, while inorganic compounds are not.
Carbon is always present in all organic compounds, but lacking in inorganic compounds. Similarly hydrogen is always present in organic compounds but are missing in inorganic compounds.
The process that uses energy to combine inorganic molecules to synthesize organic molecules is known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants, algae, and some bacteria utilize sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process occurs primarily in the chloroplasts of cells, where chlorophyll captures light energy to drive the chemical reactions involved in forming organic compounds.
Chemo-synthetic bacteria are typically autotrophic, as they obtain their energy through the oxidation of inorganic molecules, such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia, rather than from sunlight or organic compounds. This process allows them to synthesize their own organic compounds from carbon dioxide. In contrast, heterotrophic bacteria rely on organic substances for both energy and carbon.

photosynthesis
Heterotoph
Humans aren't producers indeed, they are consumers. They cannot synthesize the organic compounds they need to survive (unlike, for example, plants, that can synthesize their own organic compounds thanks to photosynthesis). Consumers don't have the ability to make organic compounds from inorganic compounds, so they rely, directly or indirectly, on the ability of producers to do that.
they are inorganic
All organic compounds contain carbon; most inorganic compounds doesn't contain carbon.
Organic compounds contain carbon bonded to hydrogen. Inorganic compounds do not.
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not.
organic compounds have carbon - hydrogen bond. inorganic compounds do not
Inorganic compounds generally do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, while organic compounds do. Inorganic compounds are typically simpler in structure and have fewer types of elements compared to organic compounds. Additionally, organic compounds are usually associated with living organisms, while inorganic compounds are not.
H2O (water) is an inorganic compound, not an organic compound. Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which are characteristic of organic compounds.
