Question

What organisms use inorganic sources of both carbon and energy to synthesize organic compounds? a) Autotrophs b) Heterotrophs c) Chemotrophs d) Phototrophs

Answer 1

c) Chemotrophs

Chemotrophs:

Are organisms that obtain their energy from inorganic sources and are capable of using these sources of carbon to synthesize organic compounds. They can derive their energy from sources including chemicals and minerals, and they can utilize these sources to perform chemosynthesis. This is a process that converts inorganic molecules into organic molecules.
