Autotroph
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.
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
Organisms that make their own organic compounds from inorganic substances are called autotrophs. They are capable of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to produce their own food.
No, rocks and minerals do not typically consist of organic compounds. Rocks are composed of different combinations of minerals, which are inorganic substances. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
Autotrophs
A chemotroph makes organic compounds from inorganic compounds.

All flowers are producers. This means that they produce complex organic compounds from simple substances such as inorganic chemical reactions or sunlight.
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
Minerals are inorganic compounds. They are naturally occurring substances with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure, unlike organic compounds which contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
Organisms that make their own organic compounds from inorganic substances are called autotrophs. They are capable of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to produce their own food.
photosynthesis
Plants do this.
Inorganic substances do not contain hydrocarbons. Carbon and hydrogen are elements found in all organic compounds.
C18H36O is an organic compound. Organic compounds are typically substances that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
