Solution
Chemoorganotrophs:
For growth and development, chemoorganoheterotrophs organisms need organic substrates as a source of carbon, and they obtain their energy from the oxidation and decomposition of organic compounds.
Chemoorganotrophs are species that use the chemical bonds in organic compounds or oxygen as their energy source and take electrons or hydrogen from organic compounds including sugars, lipids, and proteins.
The kind of organic substrate and compound that each species in this community consumes can be used to further divide them.
