Question

Write what you know about chemoautotrophs.

Answer 1

Chemoautotrophs are organisms that obtain their energy from the oxidation or breakdown of various inorganic or organic food substances in their environment. The process releases energy which supports metabolic activity in the organism. Bactetia such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter are the examples of chemoautrophic organisms.
