Bacteria that live around deep-sea, hot-water vents obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic hydrogen sulfide belched out by the ven
ts. They use this energy to build organic molecules from carbon obtained from the carbon dioxide in seawater. These bacteria are __________. A. chemoheterotrophs
B. photoheterotrophs
C. chemoautotrophs
D. photoautotrophs
Autotrophs may be defined as the organism that can prepare their own food with the help of chemical and light. Two types of autotrophs are chemoautotroph and photoautotrophs.
Chemoautotrophs are the organisms that can prepare their own food with the help of chemicals. The bacteria living around deep sea and hot water vents are considered as chemoautotrophs because they prepare their food with the help of carbon present in their surroundings.
Bohr determined that there are discrete (unique, different from one another) energy levels in the atom and that electrons will orbit the nucleus within these energy levels, known as orbitals.
