In terms of their electron donors, how do chemoorganotrophsdiffer from chemolithotrophs?
What is meant by the term “chemolithotrophy”? In what wayare chemolithotrophs like plants?
Iron bacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and nitrifying bacteria, which all oxidize
inorganic compounds through a series of chemical reactions, are best described as
O 1) photoheterotrophs
2) chemoheterotrophs
