👉 Chemoautotrophically refers to organisms that consume chemical energy from their environment. These organisms have a specialized system for utilizing this energy, known as the metabolic pathway, which involves conversion of nutrients into energy. The primary source of chemical energy for these organisms is typically provided by sunlight or other light sources. In contrast to chemosynthetic organisms, which obtain energy through photosynthesis and use organic compounds (such as glucose) as a substrate, chemoautotrophically organisms primarily rely on
