Question

Chemosynthetic bacteria found around deep-sea vents
are examples of:
(a) Producer
(b) Decomposers
(c) Chemical cycling (d) Secondary productivity​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is (a) Producer

Explanation:

Chemosynthetic bacteria use chemical energy to convert food, referred to as chemosynthesis. As a result, unlike photosynthesis, these organisms do not rely on light energy to produce their products. This makes them essential primary producers in various settings where oxidants like nitrates and sulphates are present.

For example, in deep-sea vent habitats, photosynthesis is impossible due to a lack of sunshine. However, some bacteria are key producers in this environment because of their ability to synthesise food through chemosynthesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chemosynthetic bacteria that make their food energy from chemicals in hydrothermal vents. These are called primary producers.

Explanation:

Is chemosynthetic bacteria a consumer or producer-

Chemosynthetic bacteria are chemoautotrophs because they're able to use the energy stored in inorganic molecules and convert them in organic compounds. They're primary producers because they produce their own food.

Chemosynthetic bacteria are either autotrophic heterotrophic and can therefore also be decomposers as if they get their energy from organic matter. However, if they get their carbon from carbon dioxide, they cannot be classified as decomposers.
