b) Chemotrophs
c) Autotrophs
d) Heterotrophs

Answer 1

Prokaryotes that obtain their energy from chemical compounds are called chemotrophs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotes that obtain their energy from chemical compounds are called chemotrophs. Chemotrophs can use organic compounds as energy sources and are also called chemoorganotrophs. They can also use inorganic compounds as energy sources, and in that case, they are called chemolithotrophs.
