Vedclass · Answer

(C) Chemosynthetic autotrophic bacteria are organisms that synthesize their own food using energy derived from chemical reactions rather than sunlight.These bacteria oxidize various inorganic substances such as nitrates,nitrites,or ammonia.The energy released during the oxidation of these inorganic compounds is used to produce $	ext{ATP}$ and to fix carbon dioxide into organic molecules.For example,$Nitrosomonas$ oxidizes ammonia $(NH_3)$ to nitrite $(NO_2^-)$ to obtain energy.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

Chemosynthetic autotrophic bacteria like $Nitrosomonas$ obtain energy from $........$ for their $\text{ATP}$ production.
