Question
In the depths of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, there exist hydrothermal vents that throw out toxic sulfurous chemicals like hydrogen sulfide and super hot water into the ocean. Some bacteria use these compounds to make their own food and store energy. The heat and sulfur compounds are generated by hot molten rock under the earth’s crust.
What kind of organisms are these bacteria?

Solution
The correct option is A Autotrophs
Organisms which derive nourishment from inorganic chemical substances are called chemoautotrophs. Organisms, like green plants, which use light energy to make food are known as photoautotrophs. Hence, both photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs make their own food and are not dependent on other organisms for their food.
