Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a type of bacteria that oxidizes iron compounds for energy and then uses that energy to build carbohydrates. we might best recognize this bacterium as the rust-colored ring that builds up inside toilet bowls. thiobacillus ferrooxidans is an example of a
a) chemoautotrophs
b) chemoheterotroph
c) photoheterotrophs
d) photoautotrophs

The correct answer is option - chemoautotrophs.

Explanation:

Chemoautotrophs are one of the chemotrophic organisms that obtain their energy by chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis or oxidation of electron donors present in their environment. Such organisms are bacteria or protozoans generally and the molecules from they get their energy can be organic or inorganic molecules.

Thiobacillus ferroxidans is also an example of chemoautotrophic organisms.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. chemoautotrophs.

explanation:

yes you are doing it right great gob

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.
