Plants or autotrophs obtain their energy from photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This is because they are the producers of the environment.

What is the organism that obtains nourishment through the oxidation of inorganic chemical compounds as opposed to photosynthesis called?

The organism that obtains nourishment through the oxidation of inorganic chemical compounds is called a chemotroph. This method of obtaining energy is known as chemosynthesis.


How does a rose obtains energy?

photosynthesis. (chlorophyll)


Is a goldfish an autotroph or heterotroph?

A goldfish is a heterotrophs. Heterotrophs get food from outside sources. Autotrophs make their own food by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

How is chemosynthesis like phtosynthesis?

Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis both involve converting energy into organic molecules. However, chemosynthesis uses inorganic compounds as a source of energy, while photosynthesis uses light. Both processes are vital for sustaining life in certain ecosystems.


How do the reactants of photosynthesis differ from the reactants of chemosynthesis?

Both photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are processes by which organisms produce food. The difference between the two are the energies it use. Photosynthesis makes use of solar energy, while chemosynthesis makes use of chemical energy.


What protists obtains energy through photosynthesis?

Algae, Euglena.


What is chemosynthesis and how is it different from photosynthesis?

Chemosynthesis is the process by which organisms use chemical energy to produce food. This is different from photosynthesis, which is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose for energy. Chemosynthesis does not require sunlight and can occur in environments where light is not available, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.


What are the two methods producers use to make their own energy rich molecules?

Respiration and fermentation which make up photosynthesis.


What is the process by which an autotroph obtains energy from inorganic compounds instead of light is called what?

Most autotophs that live in environments that have no light rely on chemosynthesis to synthesize energy storing molecules (mostly as carbohydrates). Many chemosynthesizers live near hyrdrotermal vents and use the hydrogensulfide emitted by the vents to "fuel" the chemical processes of chemosynthesis.


What does a chemoautotroph do to obtain energy for its survival?

A chemoautotroph obtains energy for survival by using inorganic compounds as a source of energy, rather than sunlight. This process is known as chemosynthesis.


What is the process through which the plant obtains energy from sunlight called?
