Question

2. Organisms that obtain energy by metabolizing the inorganic sources are:
(a) Lithotrophs (b) Osmotrophs
(c) Heteroautotrops (d) Phototrophs
plz tell the right Ans?

Answer 1

Answer:

d is correct answer this is my explanation

Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer is phototrophs, which are creatures that consume energy directly by metabolising inorganic sources such as carbon dioxide, D is the correct answer

Explanation:

1. Lithotrophs ("litho" meaning "rock") are chemotrophs that use electron transfer to obtain energy from inorganic substances such as hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and reduced iron.
2. Osmotrophy is a feeding process that uses osmosis to transport dissolved organic molecules for nourishment. Osmotrophs are organisms that utilise osmotrophy.
3. A heterotroph is an organism whose dietary needs are met by complex organic compounds
4. Photautotrophs use the sun's energy to transform water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into glucose (nutrition).
