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.
A phototroph obtains energy from sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. This process involves converting light energy into chemical energy stored in molecules such as glucose. The energy stored in these molecules is then used by the organism for metabolic activities.
Energy is transferred between organisms through consumption. When an organism consumes another organism, it obtains the energy stored in the consumed organism's tissues. This energy is then used by the consumer for various biological processes.
The microbe is a chemolithoautotroph, which obtains energy through oxidizing inorganic compounds (H2) and CO2 as its carbon source.
Grass obtains energy from the sun indirectly through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. Grass uses the glucose as energy to grow and reproduce.
Your body obtains energy from the food you eat. Through the process of digestion, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down into smaller molecules such as glucose. These molecules are then converted into ATP through cellular respiration, where energy is released and used by your body for various activities.

Heterotoph
I believe it is an heterotroph.
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.

Heterotrophs
No, Beggiatoa is not a heterotroph. It is a type of chemolithoautotrophic bacteria, which means it obtains carbon from inorganic sources and energy from inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide.
A chemosynthetic organism is an organism that obtains energy by converting inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or methane into organic matter through the process of chemosynthesis. These organisms are commonly found in environments devoid of sunlight, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents or cold seeps. Examples of chemosynthetic organisms include bacteria and archaea.
An organism obtains food and resources from its habitat.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a heterotroph, meaning it obtains carbon from organic compounds. It is unable to produce its own organic molecules from inorganic sources.
The size of a molecule can affect how easily an organism can obtain the nutrients within it. Larger molecules may require more energy and time to break down into absorbable forms, while smaller molecules may be more readily absorbed and used by the organism. Additionally, the size of the molecule can impact how efficiently nutrients can be transported across cell membranes to be used by the organism.
No. An autotroph (auto = self; troph = nutrition) is an organism that obtains the energy it needs to live and grow via energy from the sun (photoautotrophy) or energy stored in the chemical bonds of simple inorganic molecules (chemoautotrophy). An owl is regarded as a heterotroph (hetero = other) because it obtains the energy it needs to live and grow by consuming other living organisms, such as rodents.
