A. Salt or water
B. Carbon dioxide and sunlight
C. Carbon dioxide or methane
D. Oxygen and sugar

Respuesta :

C : carbon dioxide and methane

Answer: C. Carbon dioxide or methane

Explanation:

Chemosynthetic bacteria are the organisms which use inorganic molecules as an energy source to convert into organic substances. Many bacteria which live in dark regions of the ocean or other locations where sunlight does not fall use this mechanism of food synthesis. Molecules like carbon dioxide and methane are oxidized into organic forms of energy as food.
