Some bacteria are autotrophs and make their own food. Autotrophic bacteria make food in one of two ways. Some capture and use the sun's energy as plants do. Others, such as bacteria that live deep in mud, do not use the sun's energy. Instead, these bacteria use the energy from chemicals substances in their environment to make their food.

Five common types of autotrophic bacteria are cyanobacteria, green sulfur bacteria, purple bacteria, methanogens and halophiles.

What organism make there own food?
Autotrophs. They can be photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs, such as the organisms living near hydrothermal vents.
How does sulfur dioxide preserve food?
Sulphur Dioxide preserves food by killing bacteria
What process do autotrophic orginisms convert solar energy into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis is where autotrophic organisms convert light to chemical energy to get energy
Why are nitrates used to help preserved food?
The ion nitrate used in curing is converted to nitrite by enzymes or bacteria. The nitrite then prevents the bacteria from growing.
Why heat is used to preseve food?
Heat of itself does not spoil food. What spoil the food is the growth of bacteria in the food.At low temperatures (in a fridge) these bacteria only grow slowly but when the food warms up to room temperature the bacteria grow faster and the food will spoil. The reason for this is that for every 10oC rise in temperature the rate of chemical reactions (ie the metabolic rate of the bacteria) doubles. Obviously above a certain temperature (boiling point) the heat is so much that the bacteria are killed off.
What are bacteria called when they can make there own food?
They are autotrophic
An organism that can make its own food?
an autotrophic organism, such as a plant or bacteria
Some deepsea bacteria live near submerged volcanoes and make their own food using energy derived from minerals coming from the volcanoes These bacteria would be classified as?
autotrophic, because they make their own food!!
How did autotrophic bacteria get food before there were plants and animals?
Autotrophic means that the organism produces it's own food by photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis. if you meant heterotrophic then you forgot, at least, that other bacteria were around to be eaten.
What is bacteria that has the ability to create their own food?
Autotrophs, just like flowers and grass, bacteria make their own food too! Bacteria are sometimes also heterotrophs as well. That means the oposite of aoutotrophs, they don't make their own food. Hope i helped :)
How does autotrophic bacteria get food?
They are grown on medium that contains the nutrient that they cannot synthesize
What can make their own food?
autotrophic
Is paramecium heterotrophic?
Yes. Paramecium do not preform photosynthesis, which would make them autotrophic, so they must ingest their food for energy. Bacteria, for instance.
does eubacteria make its own food?
Eubacteria can make its own food, also known as being autotrophic.
How do protista get there food?
Some protista are autotrophic, some heterotrophic. AUTOTROPHS These protista make their food through photosynthesis. HETEROTROPHS A) Feed on [bacteria] through their oral grooves or endocytosis.
Are plants autotrophic or hetrotrophic?
plants which cant make their food are called heterotrophic plants
What are examples of heterotrophic and autotrophic archaebacteria?
Autotrophic archaebacteria, in the biological classification system, are members of the class halobacteria. Halobacteria live in salt water. Some species of halobacteria are: Halobacterium cutirubrum > Halobacterium salinarumHalobacterium denitrificans > Haloferax denitrificansHalobacterium distributum > Halorubrum distributumHalobacterium halobium > Halobacterium salinarumHeterotrophic archaebacteria are members of the class Methanobacteria. As their name suggests, these species metabolize methane gas to create energy. An example of this species is methanobacterium aarhusense.
