What type of energy- yielding metabolism is found ONLY in prokaryotes?
A) autotrophy
B) chemolithotrophy
C) phototrophy
D) chemoorganotrophy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemolithotrophy is a type of energy-yielding metabolism that is only found in prokaryotes. It involves the use of inorganic compounds (such as hydrogen gas, sulfur, or ammonium) as a source of energy, rather than organic compounds like sugars or fats. Autotrophy, phototrophy, and chemoorganotrophy are all energy-yielding metabolisms that can be found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
