Some bacteria(not all) are autotrophic bacteria which means that they can make their own food.These bacteria can be separated into two groups
- photosynthetic bacteria
- chemosynthetic bacteria
- photosynthetic bacteria contains bacteriochlorophyll which is dispersed in their cytoplasm and so they are able to make their organic food by the process of photosynthesis.e.g green sulphur bacteria,purple sulphur bacteria etc
- chemosynthetic bacteria oxidize inorganic compounds like ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,sulphur or iron and trap the energy and prepare their food.e.g nitrifying bacteria are chemosynthetic.

What is bacteria that has the ability to create their own food?
Bacteria that have the ability to create their own food through photosynthesis are called phototrophic bacteria. They use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Examples include cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
What bacteria does not make its own food?
Heterotrophic bacteria do not make their own food and instead rely on organic compounds from their environment for energy and growth. Examples include many disease-causing bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Does bacteria need food?
Bacteria are actually living organisms. Like people or animals, they can't make their own food, like plants, so they consume food from outside sources.
An organism that can make its own food?
An organism that can make its own food is known as an autotroph. Autotrophs use energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis) to produce their own food, typically in the form of glucose. Plants, algae, and some bacteria are examples of autotrophs.
Organism's that make their own food are called?
Organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs.
Which bacteria cannot make its own food?
bacteria cannot make its own food because scientists think they arent alive
Do bacteria make their own food?
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
What is bacteria that has the ability to create their own food?
Bacteria that have the ability to create their own food through photosynthesis are called phototrophic bacteria. They use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Examples include cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
What are bacteria called when they can make there own food?
They are autotrophic
Does bacteria make there own food?
Some do some don't
Does bacteriamake its own food?
Some bacteria, called autotrophs, make their own food from the carbon in CO2. Most bacteria are heterotrophs, taking their food 'ready-made' from other sources.
How do autotrophic bacteria make food?
Some bacteria are autotrophs and make their own food. Autotrophic bacteria make food in one of two ways. Some capture and use the sun's energy as plants do. Others, such as bacteria that live deep in mud, do not use the sun's energy. Instead, these bacteria use the energy from chemicals substances in their environment to make their food.
Bacteria and fungi do not make their own food Why?
Because they cannot photosynthesise.
What bacteria does not make its own food?
Heterotrophic bacteria do not make their own food and instead rely on organic compounds from their environment for energy and growth. Examples include many disease-causing bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Do bacteria make their own food or find food?
It depends on the type. Most bacteria must obtain nourishment but some are capable of photosynthesis.
Organisims that produce their own food?
No group of animals make their own food. Only plants and some bacteria do.
How do bacteria differ from other organisms?
somme bacteria have chlorophyll and are able to make their own food like green plants do
