Bacteria that live around deep-sea, hot-water vents obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic hydrogen sulfide belched out by the vents. They use this energy to build organic molecules from carbon obtained from the carbon dioxide in seawater. These bacteria are .

Chemoautotrophs

Explanation:

Autotrophs are groups of organisms that are capable of manufacturing their own food (organic molecules) through the fixation of carbon dioxide. There are two types of autotrophs:

Chemoautotrophs usually inhabit extreme environment such hot vents, deep sea, etc.
