list examples of photo autotrophs and chemo autotrophs
Photoautotrophs
Those autotrophs which synthesis organic matter from inorganic substances using the energy from sunlight through photosynthesis are termed as photoautotrophs. Some examples are:
- Plants
- Algae
- Cyanobacteria
- Phytoplanktons
Chemoautotrophs
Those autotrophs which synthesis organic matter from inorganic substances using the chemical energy are termed as chemoautotrophs. Some examples are:
- Nitrifying bacteria like Nitrosomonas
- Thermophilic bacteria like Thiobacillus
- Sulfur bacteria like Thiothrix
